Tourism challenges in 2024: Greener, more discerning tourists, more sustainable destinations | Video

Madrid, Mar 28 (EFE).- (Camera: Javier Picazo) The year 2024 is expected to mark the recovery of tourism after the Covid-19 pandemic and faces notable challenges: offering greater sustainability at the same cost, avoiding massive concentration of visitors at a time and catering to increasingly “green” and demanding tourists, according to UN Tourism Executive Director Zoritsa Urosevic.

In an interview with EFE, the official, also responsible for the Sustainability and Resilience wing of the UN agency, stressed on things the sector has learned post-pandemic, underlining the tourists “are much more demanding on places which are more reflecting responsible practices.”

In this regard, Urosevic considered that as a “broad ecosystem,” it was very important to understand that sustainability “integrates and includes many different types of economic and human activities.”
