As tourism is predicted to contribute $16 trillion to the global economy and create over 100 million jobs by 2034, it is vital to address the industry's pressing challenges, such as overcrowding, environmental degradation, and social inequalities. The World Economic Forum's report "Beyond Tourism: Coordinated Pathways to Inclusive Prosperity" urges stakeholders to adopt a more integrated "ecosystem approach" that views tourism as a sector of interconnected industries.
The report highlights successful global case studies showcasing how coordinated action across technology, finance, infrastructure, and sustainability can amplify tourism's positive impacts. It emphasizes the importance of aligning strategies to benefit travelers and local communities alike, promoting cultural exchange, environmental stewardship, and community empowerment. The document stresses the need for a coordinated, inclusive approach that cuts across multiple sectors, fostering a unified commitment among all stakeholders.
To delve deeper into the futurescape of tourism, read the full report from the Forum at Beyond Tourism: Coordinated Pathways to Inclusive Prosperity and engage in building a prosperous global travel community.
