The structure of societies is continuously changing: The world population is forecast to grow to 8.3 billion in 2030, life expectancy is projected to increase in most of the world, households and families are becoming more diverse, and migration is changing the face of societies. All these changes will impact upon the types of tourists, where they originate from, where they travel to, the types of accommodation they require and the activities they engage in while travelling. The UNWTO/ETC Report on Demographic Change and Tourism aims to be a reference for destinations. It includes a comprehensive analysis of major demographic trends and how these will impact on tourism in specific generating markets.
