The graphic below depicts the big themes driving growth in the tourism sector.

Tourist Megatrends - Overview
Megatrend Overview
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to software-based systems that use data inputs to make decisions on their own or that help users make decisions. Within five years, the
Artificial Intelligence deployment of AI will be essential to the survival of companies of all shapes and size across all sectors. The uptake of AI is facilitating smarter, more efficient, and more reactive
customer services and offerings. From digital assistants to human-less check in experiences, AI holds great potential for the industry. For a range of reports and data on this
theme, see: To understand how this theme is impacting the travel & tourism sector, see: https://consumer.globaldata.com/ThemesView/OverView/613
As consumerism has evolved, for many the importance of material possessions has dwindled and the desire for experience has become more important. Beyond more
sophisticated customer demands, this is supported by sharing through social media, the uniqueness that comes with an experience versus a product, and exposure to the
possibility of alternative experiences beyond consumers' everyday lives. This pushes the tourism industry to the fore of consumers' minds, with travel being the ultimate
Experience Economy
experience. As various elements of the industry are prioritized by consumers to reiterate their place in this new economy, the travel industry's role is to facilitate and develop,
to capitalize on this new world order. To understand how this theme is impacting the travel & tourism sector, see:
https://consumer.globaldata.com/ThemesView/OverView/671

Geopolitics (the influence of factors like geography, economics and demography on the politics of the state) shape the environment in which businesses operate. Companies
Geopolitics
must take geopolitical events into account when devising strategies. In its most basic form, tourism is influenced by the ability of people to visit new destinations. Something
that is heavily influence by access and risk, perceived or otherwise. To understand how this theme is impacting the travel & tourism sector, see:
https://consumer.globaldata.com/ThemesView/OverView/618
The interconnection via the Internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data. The advent of connected objects is a boon
Internet of Things to the Tourism industry, and with consumers increasingly benefitting from a more integrated tech experience in their home lives they are becoming more comfortable with,
and dependent on, IoT technology. While the use of the IoT has benefits for tourists' ease and enjoyment, for the industry it creates a significant opportunity to elevate
propositions and stand out, but most importantly collect vast amounts of behavioural data which can then be used to improve services going forward. To understand how this
theme is impacting the travel & tourism sector, see: https://consumer.globaldata.com/ThemesView/OverView/616
Sustainability is focused on meeting the needs of the present without limiting the ability of future generations to meet their needs. As a concept, it can be split into three
Sustainability
categories: economic; environmental; and social (or profits, planet and people). The travel and tourism industry is hugely impacted by sustainability, with climate change,
wasteful practices and the physical impact of overwhelming tourist flows all having a negative effect on the world, indeed the product, that they need to survive. To
understand how this theme is impacting the travel & tourism sector, see: https://consumer.globaldata.com/ThemesView/OverView/617
