In recent years, the tourism sector has been a fast growing economic activity in many countries. Tourism creates added value and employment in the receiving countries and can contribute to a better knowledge or image of a country. However, the question of whether tourism is developing in a sustainable way is posed more and more frequently. This publication takes a look at some recent evolutions in tourism behaviour and preferences that can have an impact on the sustainability of tourism.
