The Future of Urban Tourism
In 2017, 4.1 billion people were living in urban areas. This means over half of the world (55%) now live in urban settings. Many of us have heard this fact, but what does that mean for tourism and destination development? By 2030, an estimated five billion people will live in urban areas. By 2050 the global human population will account for 9.7 billion people, with about 70% living in the cities. How can cities prepare for this massive urbanization movement and what are the tourism challenges and opportunities?
Designing the Future of Urban Tourism
Given these projections, it is very likely that city tourism is going to experience a sharp growth in the future, adding millions of tourists to a growing urban population.
Because of the pandemic, we haven’t had t deal with this reality yet. However, now is a critical time to set a new course that takes advantage of emerging trends to design destinations that are sustainable and balance the needs of tourists and locals. This includes not only the general economic factors but also indirectly supporting the quality of life of locals through the creation of cultural offerings, improved public transport, improved safety, urban regeneration projects, entrepreneurial opportunities.
