Current Scenario of the Global Sustainable Tourism Market

Sustainable tourism is tourism that fully takes into account its current and future economic, social, and environmental impacts, meeting the needs of visitors, industry, the environment, and host communities. Tourism can involve major transportation to the general location, local transportation, lodging, entertainment, recreation, food, and shopping. This can be related to travel for pleasure, business, and what is known as VFR (visiting friends and family). There is currently a broad consensus that tourism development must be sustainable. A 2017 report by the United Nations World Tourism Organization found that although some countries and industry sectors are creating initiatives for tourism to achieve the SDGs, knowledge sharing, financing, and sustainable tourism policy do not fully meet stakeholder needs.

Tourism development organizations promote sustainable tourism practices in order to mitigate the negative effects caused by the growing impact of tourism. The United Nations World Tourism Organization has highlighted these practices by promoting tourism within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals, through programs such as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development in 2029 and programs such as Tourism for the SDGs focused on how SDG 8, SDG 12 and SDG 14 involve tourism in creating a sustainable economy.

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

In large part, the sense of responsibility towards the environment, coupled with the socio-economic well-being of local societies among tour operators, is driving the demand for sustainable tourism around the world.

Other factors that trigger the need and demand for the sustainable tourism segment include a growing awareness of securing the natural and traditional habitat of the destination in question, as well as a shift in the mindset of many travelers compared to traditional travel concerns such as price, the brand, quality, and suitability for dealing with social, cultural, and environmental problems that are important to vacation spots. Sustainable tourism is still an emerging concept, and many regions are not aware of this type of tourism; therefore, huge opportunities, including the coverage of many untapped areas and the fusion of sustainable tourism with ethno tourism and ecotourism, are presented as areas of potential opportunities for sustainable tourism in the tourism industry. The millennial and baby boom generation of travelers are more inclined towards sustainable tourism, and their preferred destination appears to be South Africa.

Vacationing in places with an abundance of natural habitats and ensuring respect for the environment is becoming an emerging trend among tourists in their sustainable travel; travelers enjoy the ecstasy of a place's natural habitat without causing a nuisance to the local plant, animals, and bird species or human settlements. Today there is a trend to undertake a fusion vacation between sustainable tourism and ecotourism—another notable trend found in the transformation of sustainable tourism from vacation travel to social work.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Some factors hinder the growth of the sustainable tourism segment, such as a limited audience or travelers, since this concept of tourism is not very comfortable and luxurious for most travelers. Another limitation is that tourists from all over the world are less aware of sustainable tourism, as some travelers prefer a very comfortable and luxurious vacation and only look for those options. Many tourists do not find this concept relevant, and changing their minds in favor of sustainable tourism is another challenge for the sustainable tourism segment.
