What constitutes ‘progress’ for travel & tourism in 2024?
In 2024, what constitutes ‘progress’ for the travel & tourism industry where you work, or that you have identified through your observations, study, or research?
It’s a “Good Tourism” Insight Bites question.
Your correspondent put the question to the travel & tourism stakeholders in the “GT” network, inviting responses of no more than 300 words.
Thanks to the 18 respondents — professors, professionals, practitioners — who took the time to share their thoughts on the question. Their answers appear in the order received.
Thanks also to Ronda J Green for her BiteX about Australia and Indonesia celebrating geotourism and Herb Hiller for his BiteX about saving the Okefenokee Swamp in the USA.
