Governments took exceptional measures to support tourism as recent crises raised awareness of the sector’s importance as an economic and social force. The strong recovery is providing a new wakeup call for governments and the sector as a whole, as destinations struggle to manage demand and the impacts on the environment and local communities. This is putting pressure on the social license for tourism and has highlighted the need to rebalance the impacts, understand the trade-offs and manage tourism sustainably, so the benefits outweigh the costs. At the same time, tourism offers untapped potential for many people, businesses, and places. Governments, at all levels, have a role to play in shaping tourism development to respond to these challenges, capitalize on opportunities, and deliver better outcomes. Many countries have updated or developed tourism strategies to reflect the post-pandemic context and priorities. These strategies look to build on recent momentum to shift to more sustainable models of tourism, to adapt to an increasingly dynamic environment and engage stakeholders around a common vision for the future of the sector. Diversifying the tourism offer and attracting new source markets and segments to emerging destinations and outside of peak periods underpins many tourism strategies, to better spread the benefits and tourist flows. Significant investments are needed to reduce the environmental impact of tourism activities, while adapting to the impacts from climate change. Tourism destinations and businesses need support to keep pace with rapid technological developments, while resources are also required to develop the transport and other infrastructure needed to better manage tourism development. Boosting the capacity of the sector to attract, retain and develop a strong and sustainable workforce is a further area of ongoing focus. However, implementation remains an issue and there is a risk that tourism slips down national policy agendas as the sector returns to pre-pandemic levels and growth paths. Effective governance practices and co-ordinated policy action are needed to deliver on these ambitions, supported by sufficient resources at national, regional, and local level. Action at destination level has an increasingly important role to play in driving momentum for change, guided by an overarching national vision for the future of tourism that in turn considers local needs and priorities, and supported by effective co-ordination mechanisms across levels of government. More granular, timely and robust evidence is also needed to manage and track progress on potential trade-offs, determine “what works” and identify emerging policy impacts and risks, as well as the costs of inaction.
