Will 2020 be a tipping point for tourism? Is it possible to increase air services and to be sustainable?
Location: Keynote Arena
There is no end in sight for the growth in demand – the UNWTO predicts 1.4 billion international tourists by 2020. So how will destinations cope? Airlines and airports all wish to increase traffic numbers and develop new routes but these increases will put pressure on destinations. Can destinations cope and what needs to be done to safeguard our destinations for travelers in the future? Will we see more tourism caps and taxes? Will we find more capacity, more destinations? Can we get a grip on managing tourism’s impacts and make sustainable growth a reality? A timely debate for the UNWTO’s International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development.
