Resilience

Tourism resilience refers to the industry’s ability to diligently deal with disasters and self-inflicted crises in order to maintain stability while ensuring the flexibility and diversity necessary for innovation and further development. It is a way to improve sustainability after an ecological or environmental disaster and offers an alternative to sustainable development, as a possible recovery from tourism induced stress.

Digitalisation

Digitalisation impacts and transforms tourism. Platforms, online payments, social media and smart solutions greatly impact tourism, enhancing the visitor experience. Considering SMEs, digitalisation inspires innovative models, solutions and ecosystems. It opens up new roles for destinations and visitors, making way for start-ups and upscaling existing businesses. While also helping meet supply and demand.

- Environmental responsibility
