Growth rates are stabilizing as the recovery matures. 🔍 Tourism Outlook: Confidence in tourism prospects is growing as the pandemic's effects diminish, with a projected full recovery expected in 2024 (UNWTO).

With growth comes responsibility. More and more destinations are seeking to understand the opportunities, but also costs, that come with #tourism development. An important step is to measure the wide range of changes that tourism brings for both locals and the environment. It's been great working with the Ministry of Tourism in #Greece (and other national and regional stakeholders) to discuss #sustainabletourism #indicators as part of the OECD - OCDE, and European Commission funded, TSI project. My key take-aways are: 1. Don't let the perfect be the ennemie of the good - making a start is what counts. 2. Collaboration is the path to success. That includes data sharing, coordination of analysis efforts, and effective reporting to those who will ultimately use the information. 3. Once you measure, the complexity of tourism becomes so much more visible (and hopefully somewhat easier to manage well). 4. People who work in tourism are often passionate and that makes it all worthwhile - after all tourism is about the places we love and that are special.

Technological developments are changing tourism value chains and the position of SMEs within them. Enabling business models to evolve, and offering new ways for SMEs to collaborate and network with potential partners is crucial. Tourism earnings should flow to the host destinations local economy not just fair but necessary.

Tourism development brings with it changes that are liable to have a long-term impact on the economy, society, and culture of a country, especially the developing ones. The international community has long recognized the need for such an effort that is also environmentally sound. Concern over the environment and sustainable development has led to a backlash in the mainstream economic system against materialism and capitalism. In such a scenario, the role of business enterprises and tourism-related industries, especially hospitality and travel, is often held to be particularly important. Hence, much energy has gone into providing tourism services that contribute to consumer satisfaction while at the same time offering a low environmental impact. In a highly competitive global environment, companies are faced with the need to innovate and develop in order to survive. The question is, can sustainable development, in the form of eco-tourism, be achieved in travel and tourism-related sectors on a mass scale, or is the planning and application that is required too much given the enormity of the different types of products created or provided?

The Tourism Watch is a quarterly report produced by the World Bank which monitors global and regional tourism sector performance, outlook, and highlights policies aimed at enhancing the sector’s economic, social and environmental outcomes for developing economies and destinations. The series relies on real-time aviation data, official tourism statistics, consumer search trends, broader economic indicators, and other key data sources to provide a perspective on how tourism is affected by and contributing to global developments. The lede for the Q4 2023 report states: "Resilient growth caps strong year for recovery." Some regions will obviously fare better than others depending on the level of where their visitor economy was prior to COVID, what tourism sector and policy foundations they have to build upon, and what needs and issues were addressed during the pandemic's downtime (i.e., E-visas, capacity building, new supporting infrastructure, etc.). #worldbank #global #travelandtourism #recovery #resiliency #sustainability Ahmed Eiweida Louise Twining-Ward, Ph.D. Baljit (Bava) Wadhwa Sandra Carvao Patricia Carmona Redondo Lorena Villar Ana Martín Gutiérrez Peter DeBrine Johanna Devine Anna Spenceley Ivan Anthony Henares, PhD Tomeu Deya Rouran Zhang Cecilie Smith-Christensen Isabelle QUEMENER Ananya Bhattacharya Sofia Fonseca Colleen Swain Faisal Abd Rahman Frederic Dimanche, Ph.D., Toronto Metropolitan University Michael Tarnowski, MBA, CHIA France Dionne Joe Pavelka Rachel Dodds, PhD Joseph M.

📢 Greece’s tourism model under scrutiny as over-tourism impacts escalate https://lnkd.in/eB9z-Ztj As the summer season draws to a close, the repercussions of over-tourism are starkly evident across Southern Europe, and Greece is feeling the strain. Water shortages, congested streets, and soaring housing costs are impacting locals, not just on popular islands, but even in major cities like Athens. A recent Macro Musings podcast by Kathimerini English Edition featuring Save Ios Association President, Dimitri Vayanos, delves into this critical issue. It examines Greece's heavy reliance on tourism and raises the question: Is it time for a change? We echo this call for change. We believe that sustainable tourism, which respects both the environment and local communities, is essential for the long-term health of our islands. #Greece #Tourism #SustainableTourism #Overtourism #Economy
