What the tourist will do in 2030
The activities of tourists in 2030 will be determined by a myriad of factors. The most notable thing about their probable activities is the dynamism in their activities as determined by the changing needs and forcing factors. Prosperity among people and the affordability of vacations have been among the factors touted to promote tourism by 2030. Many people’s incomes have been improving, while the charges for the vacations have been noticeably falling.
Events that happened all over the world are also a major influence on tourism, and in this technological era, it is very easy for tourists to follow up the events happening in all parts of the world. Apparently, countries with vast cultural capital benefit the most from tourists, since culture is one of the largest tourist attractions. Climate is another major factor. Countries with unique climates usually experience more visits compared to those with ordinary climates.
However, future tourists will not just go to any place. They will make their choices basing on the impacts of the tours on their health and safety, image and branding of destinations, knowledge, and experience, individual tastes and preferences, age, work pressures, the authenticity of the events, and the extent of pleasure in the experiences.
While on their tours, the tourists will do different things ranging from basking in the sun, swimming, and executing business deals among other activities. Therefore, the tourist in 2030 will be a very dynamic being who must consider a wide range of factors before knowing the best course of action to take.
Tourism and socio-cultural conservation
Tourism has several advantages, especially to the socio-cultural aspects of the concerned communities. Among these advantages is the promotion of peace, strengthening communities, bringing facilities closer to people, and fostering the re-evaluation of people’s cultures.
Tourism is, usually, about moving from one place to another. In the process of moving to new places, tourists meet new people and understand their cultures and general ways of life. In the long-run, the interactions prevent conflicts due to cultural misunderstandings. In addition, tourism strengthens the ties among members of the community. Many times, they meet for the sake of preparing performances meant for tourists. This rejuvenates their relationships.
Tourism also benefits the community by fostering the establishment of proper infrastructure. Many governments, usually, develop infrastructure with the view of benefitting tourists, but natives also benefit. Besides, tourism makes the community revalue their culture and see the need to conserve it since the natives develop a sense of pride in their culture.
