Responsible tourism is the future of travel and tourism. Tourism authorities at the helm of the industry's leadership play a significant role in how they enhance it's awareness and integration in practice. Sharing my insight with the "Good Tourism" & "GT" Travel I question whether Kenya's tourism is responsible and why responsible tourism is not integrated in Kenya's tourism growth strategy. Do you think Kenya's tourism has the potential to be responsible? How can tourism in Kenya be more responsible? Share your thoughts. #ResponsibleTourism #TourisminKenya #GoodTourism https://lnkd.in/dvTAPtF4

#Tourism Is on the Rise. How to Manage It Well? ⛵️ Tourism is back with a vengeance post-COVID and is growing at record pace: the United Nations World Tourism Organization estimates that international tourism will grow by 15% year-on-year in 2024, returning to pre-pandemic levels. Some popular travel destinations around the world are already struggling to cope with the impact of overtourism: obviously places like Venice or Bali, but also some destinations in my beloved Greece, former hidden gems that are now hardly coping in terms of infrastructure and service. BCG's new Tourism report shares some concrete advice on managing growth to find a path balancing economic and social development with environmental sustainability and the needs of local residents: 🏖 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆: Implement visitor limits and fees to control the number of tourists and reduce overcrowding. 🏞️ 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗢𝘂𝘁: Promote lesser-known attractions and use data to manage tourist flow, ensuring a more balanced distribution of visitors. 📣 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Educate travelers on respectful behavior and local norms to minimize their impact on local communities. 🗺️ 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Develop long-term plans to distribute tourists more evenly throughout the year, enhancing sustainability.

GLOBAL TOURISM | prior to the coronavirus outbreak, had seen almost uninterrupted growth for decades. - in 1980, the number of international arrivals was 277 million. - in 2019, nearly reached 1.5 billion internationals arrivals globally.

According to the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, global tourism continued its recovery in 2023, ending the year at 88 percent of pre-pandemic levels, with an estimated 1.3 billion international tourist arrivals. The UNWTO now expects international tourism to make a full recovery and pass 1.5 billion globally by the end of 2024. #tourism #2024trends #internationaltravel

Welcome to Luxembourg, Europe! Over 70 European tourism leaders meet in Luxembourg this week 🇪🇺🌍🇱🇺 The European Travel Commission (ETC) gathers in Luxembourg for its 108th General Meeting from 20-22 November. As the organiser and with the support of the General Directorate for Tourism of the Ministère de l'Économie - Luxembourg, we are taking the opportunity to showcase destination Luxembourg in its European spirit. The European Travel Commission is a non-profit organisation representing the national tourism organisations of Europe. Founded in 1948, ETC was originally established as a European initiative to promote travel to a post-war Europe in the US. Luxembourg is a proud founding member of ETC, and is among the 36 tourism board members today, along with 17 associate members from the private sector around the world. The goal is to work together to build the value of tourism across diverse European destinations through cooperation in best-practice sharing, market intelligence, and promotion. ETC, under the brand #VisitEurope, organises worldwide campaigns encouraging responsible travel to Europe, the leading global tourism destination. The country of Luxembourg, and therefore destination Luxembourg, is in many ways a microcosm of Europe. Our cosmopolitan fortress city is the hub for the meetings, notably at the European Convention Center Luxembourg (ECCL) where the EU Councils of Ministers meet. Free travel across borders is an integral part of the European experience, and guests will also visit the symbolic village of #Schengen. The motto of this general meeting, “The Journey is a Destination”, puts an emphasis on sustainable mobility. Travel and mobility are key topics on the meeting agenda, and the event will culminate with a gala dinner and the ETC & Eurail #RailTourismAwards ceremony in the historic Clausen district. 📍 Winter in Luxembourg City 📷 Tom Fielitz Photography #etcgeneralmeeting108 #journeyisadestination #luxembourgcity #luxembourg #visitluxembourg #visiteurope #luxembourgfortourism #europeantravelcommission

Always good to start a fresh new week with good news! We spotted this on Bizcommunity.com on 24 May. It is also fantastic news for our events industry due to how we are interconnected to travel and tourism. Travelers attending events are more and more mixing business with leisure tourism. Whilst they are actually business travelers, they connect to different sectors of the tourism and hospitality industry and regarded as part of the fast-growing 'bleisure' sector.
