| Summary: | The tourism industry is progressively demonstrating the development of the economy. Only in 2017 global tourism flow recorded a 3.7% increase in tourism revenue, with monetary mass increasing by 4.1%, while global GDP growth was 3.5%. For the sixth consecutive year, the tourism industry has overtaken the global economy, demonstrating people’s desire to continue traveling and discover new places despite the economic and political challenges around the world. Overtourism has become a problem in 2017 and will continue to remain in 2018. But gradually there is an understanding of how to deal with it. Meanwhile, city tourist companies will work more closely with regional organizations to redirect the flow of tourists to less popular destinations. Alternative travel options will be extreme tourism, gourmet tours in the regions, ecological tours, the opening of unusual hotels in the province and so on. |
