It is true that some economic spheres of tourism are cyclical. Nevertheless, it is a field with many players whose activities diversify all year round to guarantee prosperity. This makes it a perfect area for innovation and the creation of new avenues of investment.
Almost all industries have been negatively impacted in one way or another by the pandemic. The solutions that have been undertaken to address the situation have led to a stronger and more dependent system. For its part, the tourism industry has become more supportive of mutual aid in the community by prioritizing more local ports of call and diversifying its marketing.
New activities and solutions have emerged with the aim of enhancing the attractions close to citizens. This has had the effect of stimulating the economy at almost the same level as before the pandemic. By diversifying, collaborating and innovating, we ensure a sustainable future for our tourism and community economy.
People cut back on international travel but are more likely to travel locally. The evolution of travellers' habits is the basis of a new tourism economy that highlights the attractions of each region and stimulates the purchase of local goods, services and products.
This is why the innovative involvement of companies is so important for the tourism sector, which is now aimed at foreign tourists as well as the resident population.
