Exploring Sustainable Tourism Practices for Fostering Meaningful Travel Experiences: A Global Perspective

Abstract

Sustainable tourism practices are the need of the hour not only for the survival of the tourism products but also to make these resources available for future generation. For the generation of meaningful experience, various techniques were administered. This study explores the relationship between meaningful travel and sustainable tourism practices, highlighting how community involvement, environmental protection and cultural preservation are interconnected. The collaboration between decision-makers, destination managers, tour operators and tourists plays an important role in deciding the direction of sustainable tourism. This chapter is based on three objectives. The first objective showcases the global trends in sustainable tourism, the second objective will focus on the elements responsible for meaningful travel and the third objective highlights the suggestions and recommendations for tourism stakeholders. To conduct this study, Scopus-indexed papers were reviewed to identify the factors to achieve the objectives.
