Global tourism industry sustainability transition

Overview

The global tourism sector is undergoing a strategic shift from prioritizing visitor volume to focusing on quality, economic value, and sustainability. In Morocco, a moderation in arrival growth has prompted calls for the industry to extend visitor stays and increase per-capita spending to ensure economic benefits reach local communities.

In mature destinations like Magaluf, businesses are attempting to transform models previously defined by excessive nightlife into more sustainable versions. This movement is supported by industry discussions in Madrid, where experts emphasized that sustainability must be integrated into core management, governance, and risk management rather than treated as a separate initiative.

In Brazil, the role of sustainability certifications has been highlighted as a tool for businesses to monitor impacts and demonstrate socio-environmental commitments. Experts note that the effectiveness of these tools depends on how deeply they are incorporated into daily management and local supply chains.
