??The Future Drivers of Tourism
New money, reasonable airfare, business travel, and experience travel are the four largest drivers of the hospitality and tourism industries. Hospitality and tourism experts can assure sustained revenue development by addressing these factors. To commence with, there is new money. New money carries with it the financial means to accomplish lengthy ambitions, so it's no wonder that several freshly wealthy and moneyed?folks are opting for overseas travel.

The price of tickets is shrinking due to a combination of circumstances, including decreased fuel costs, enhanced airline rivalry, and the advent of low-cost airline companies. Although this is doom and gloom for the aviation industry, which relies on supplementary charges to boost profits, it is good news for customers who may get a greater bang for their buck (K?l??, Uyar, Kuzey and Karaman, 2021). The number of people travelling for business is expected to increase by 6% this year. As the epidemic persists and tourism industry participants anticipate a recovery, our study indicates that the post-crisis recovery would take several years, with corporate travel returning at a moderate speed than holidaymakers.

Experiential travel, which has become a cliché in recent times, is indeed a key tourist engine. People are spending additional money on restaurants, vacations, and amusement rather than on tangible goods in general. Experiential travel emphasizes experiences above commodities, such as providing passengers with the opportunity to make once-in-a-lifetime recollections throughout cultural diplomacy or a wildlife sighting.
