The report, published by the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) in October 2022, delves into the future of Mediterranean tourism in a post-COVID world. It presents two potential future pathways: a return to unsustainable mass tourism or a shift towards greener, more inclusive tourism practices. The report highlights the need for ambitious recovery roadmaps at local, national, and regional levels to ensure a sustainable future for Mediterranean tourism. It discusses the environmental degradation caused by mass tourism, such as habitat loss and pollution, and emphasises the importance of integrating local communities into tourism planning.
