Global ecotourism market set to reach US$103 billion by 2027

Consumer demand for sustainability is driving the growing tourism market

The global ecotourism market is estimated to generate US$103.8 billion by 2027. This will represent a rise in a CAGR of 2.5% from 2021 to 2027. Previously, global ecotourism market generated US$92.2 billion in 2019.

According to a new Allied Market Research report, there has been a significant increase in travel to destinations that are off the beaten track with tourists inclined to exploring wildlife and undisturbed natural areas.

Although low availability of accommodation and limited infrastructure have impeded market growth, public-private partnerships in the form of subsidising transport routes to remote tourist destinations, will create new opportunities in the coming years.

This is attributed to the presence of a large number of millennial travellers supported by increased disposable income and expansion of facilities and infrastructure.
