Challenges and strategies for tourism in the framework of the sustainable development goals

Abstract

Tourism is an activity that has been growing steadily in recent years. However, as an activity, it has its negative and positive effects. In a framework of transformation of the world and, especially European policies, where sustainable development becomes the main objective for the coming years, tourism faces some important challenges, even more so when in the last three years; it has not yet managed to reach pre-pandemic levels. This article aims to set out a series of challenges for tourism activity in a very different context to the one we had three years ago. Challenges for the transformation of tourism towards sustainable development

Keywords:

tourism, sustainability, SDGs, challenges
