Coastal and Marine Tourism

Island Destinations

Coastal and marine tourism represents at least 50 percent of total global tourism. It constitutes the largest economic sector for most small island destinations. 

Post-COVID consumer trends show an increased interest in sustainable tourism and nature-based activities. Nevertheless, for coastal and marine tourism to drive economic recovery from the pandemic without further damaging the marine ecosystem, there must be investment in proactive destination management approaches.

A focus on sustainability efforts must increase significantly to ensure the protection of coastal communities and environments, yet these efforts are not sufficient. Years of progress on the Sustainable Development Goals, such as reforesting coastal mangroves or regenerating coral reefs, for example, could be lost in a single disaster or crisis. Sustainability, therefore, is not enough.

Before a destination can be sustainable, it must first be resilient. Only when they are both sufficiently robust to withstand shocks and flexible enough to adapt to changes can destinations consider themselves resilient and be able to maintain their sustainability efforts.

Emerging technologies have no doubt transformed the travel and tourism industry; it can equip businesses with the resilience to respond to different happenings and level-up their sustainability.
