Fostering sustainability in toursim

Tourism is one of the largest and fastest-growing economic sectors worldwide and its expansion is expected to continue. International tourist arrivals will increase by 3.3% annually over the next 15 years and reach an estimated 1.8 billion in 2030, the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has said. Further, destinations in emerging economies are expected to rise at double the pace (4.4% per year) of those in advanced economies (2.2% per year).
