Future of Sustainable Tourism

Abstract

Tourism today is in a critical crossroad, not only due of the changes on the structure of the tourist industry where the focus has shifted from mass tourism to alternative tourism, but also the question on how the tourist industry will cope with the case of the Covid-19 crisis. Still, the tourist industry does not know what the future of the sector can be. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate and make suggestions on how the future will shape sustainable tourism. This is a literature review in an ongoing phenomenon which is the Covid-19 pandemic. Hence, this chapter will rely on both the existing literature review and on published scientific papers. Nonetheless, it is crucial to refer to the fact that there is a lack of research on this issue. For this reason, the authors will expand their research on articles and reports published on the internet so to have the latest updates on this issue.
