World trends in tourism

Tourism has a trend of constant development throughout history. Adverse events and the crisis did not affect the development of tourism. Movements in international tourist traffic from 1950, when 25 million foreign tourist arrivals and 2.1 billion dollars in revenue were realized, in 2017, with 1.326 billion foreign tourist arrivals and 1.340 billion dollars in revenue (UNWTO 2018). Point to the conclusion that "travel and tourism represent an important economic activity in most countries in the world" (WTTC 2018). Long-term forecasts of the development of international tourism demand, assuming that the relevant variables affecting this growth will reflect similar tendencies from previous periods. Predict that this demand will continue to grow at an average annual rate of 3.3%, which should result in 1.8 billion foreign tourist arrivals by 2030 (UNWTO 2017). Today, tourism has become an industry of entertainment, leisure and adventure. There are always new destinations, new arrangements, new types of travel, new forms of organization and new resources. New trends are emerging in the tourism market — both locally and globally. It is necessary to follow and adapt to new market trends, and the tourist offer adjustment must be individualized. The Internet, social networks, satellite navigation systems, mobile telephony, digital television, etc., make it easier for tourists to access information, make reservations, organize trips and stay. Tourists are increasingly critical and experienced in choosing travel destinations. Tourists take care of their health and have a strong environmental awareness. Due to global climate change and pollution, they behave environmentally and consciously. Tourists are looking for new or unique experiences. For tourists, design, authenticity, originality and less important functionality are more important. Taking care of her health becomes her concern.
