- An overarching trend in tourism is the pursuit of authentic experiences, including adventure, learning skills, rejuvenation, and fulfillment. Visitors are interested in the sense of place, meeting people, and experiencing local culture, food, history and nature.<\/li>\n
- The growing \u2018Sharing Economy\u2019 in the areas of accommodation, transportation, dining and travel planning provides an opportunity for regional leaders to re-think how tourists experience their area and how community stakeholders may benefit.<\/li>\n
- Hiking and walking activities will continue to increase in popularity as it is appealing to all generations and focuses on connection to nature. Covid-19 has shown a dramatic increase in people hiking and walking outdoors as that is one of the only social activities that permits physical distancing at the same time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

It isn\u2019t always comfortable Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that\u2019s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.\u201d

<\/a><\/div>Future iQ Predictions<\/h3>[vc_column_text]Tourists of all ages are embracing technology for researching, booking, reviewing, navigating and sharing travel experiences. Venues and hotels are also relying on touchless technologies, IoT and robots to provide safety and convenience for visitors. Engaging with the increasingly technology connected tourist will be critical for tourism destination development.<\/p>\n\n- Actively and effectively engaging social media and online review sites will be essential to capture the attention of modern travelers, from tech savvy baby boomers to constantly connected millennials.<\/li>\n
- Emerging technologies will provide visitors with easy ways to access outdoor activities and virtual visitation, create curated packages, access rental equipment, guides and transportation, and simplify ways to find and book online.<\/li>\n
- Mobile tourism (all services connected by phone) will become the norm.<\/li>\n
- Virtual reality will be increasingly used to market destinations and lodging, educate and allow people to visit without actually going to a location. This will provide access to many more visitors, whether in-person or virtual, and opens the door to innovative presentation of destinations.<\/li>\n
- In highly travelled areas, we will see technology solutions such as advance alerts and the ability to \u2018electronically ring fence\u2019 key areas, similar to current apps that can manage traffic congestion and reroute drivers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Overtourism is becoming a recognised phenomenon across Europe and parts of the U.S. Dealing with these challenges will require collaborative regionally based solutions that involve connecting infrastructure and instituting bold policy alignment.<\/li>\n
