Green Sustainable Tourism Market Trends




  • Increasing awareness among tourists is driving the market growth




As a result of tourists' rising obsession with environmental and ecological awareness, the idea of sustainability has given rise to an emerging trend. The rising demand for energy and other resources in emerging economies often leads to environmental damage. Over time, a change in consciousness could lead to a change in behavior, enhancing tourism's sustainability. People's ecological footprint is expanding, and human activity is mostly to blame for pollution, animal loss, and climate change. Tourism is one of the largest economic sectors in the world and one of the most common human endeavors, with a phenomenal long-term growth rate in its breadth and value.


The adoption of sustainable tourism practices by significant tourism organizations is the primary factor driving the growth of the Green Sustainable Tourism Market. To develop more sustainable supply chains, major travel agencies and numerous worldwide hotels are collaborating more closely. Sustainable tourism projects are expected to have a favorable impact on the market because international hotels, travel agencies, and their suppliers are connected to other industries that are related to tourism. The practice of sustainable reporting has been embraced by many large travel and tourism organizations, which has motivated them to concentrate on reducing the environmental impact of their operations. Therefore, it is expected that key travel and tourism organizations will speed up market expansion over the forecast period by implementing sustainable tourism practices.


In response to disturbing scientific certainty and assertions about the fragility of the environment, an increasing number of industrial stakeholders have recently focused on sustainability. Despite the high initial expenses and minimal returns on investments, industry leaders are investing a lot of effort and money into creating environmentally friendly lodgings.

Changes in consumer behavior go hand in hand with these landscape changes. Nearly 80% of visitors claim they would prefer a sustainable stay and would at least occasionally book a green or eco-friendly hotel. In the approaching years, the creation and implementation of a better and more seamless client experience will primarily rely on the productive collaboration between travel agencies and associated parties.

Iceland, Kenya, Palau, and Nepal are some of the most well-liked eco-friendly, sustainable tourist locations on the planet. At the end of the year, Nepal had 1,173,072 visitors, a staggering 24 percent rise in visitors. In a similar vein, more than 2 million tourists—an increase of more than 37%—visited Kenya in 2018. Additionally, places like Panama, the Galapagos Islands, and Costa Rica swiftly gain popularity as ecotourism vacation spots.
