Dublin, Nov. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Geotourism Market Report 2024” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The geotourism market size has grown strongly in recent years, from $668.9 billion in 2023 to $709.34 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth can be attributed to the increasing popularity of nature-based and off-the-beaten-path travel, the rising availability of eco-friendly accommodations, the expansion of international travel and tourism markets, the growing trend of digital nomadism and remote working, and the influence of social media and travel influencers.
The geotourism market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years, to $901.62 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing awareness of environmental conservation, the rise in eco-friendly travel preferences, growing interest in sustainable and responsible tourism, expansion of adventure travel activities, and higher disposable income and consumer spending on travel.
Major trends expected in the forecast period include the development of new geotourism destinations, technological advancements in travel and booking platforms, enhanced marketing and promotion of geotourism locations, collaborations between tourism operators and local communities, and improvements in transportation infrastructure to remote areas.
The increasing number of international tourists is anticipated to drive the growth of the geotourism market in the future. The rise in international tourism is attributed to factors such as better travel accessibility, enhanced global connectivity, and a heightened interest in cultural experiences and exploration. Geotourism is gaining popularity among international tourists as it provides immersive experiences that emphasize unique geological features, local cultures, and sustainable travel practices. For example, a report from the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based non-ministerial department, revealed in May 2023 that the UK experienced 31.2 million visits in 2022, a significant increase from 24.9 million visits in 2021. Moreover, UK residents’ trips abroad rose from 51.8 million in 2021 to 71 million in 2022. This growth in international tourism is fueling the expansion of the geotourism market.
Leading companies in the geotourism market are creating advanced products such as geolocation technology to enhance the travel experience with personalized and interactive tours. A geolocation product is a technology or service that uses precise geographic location data to offer location-based information and features. For instance, in May 2024, OpenBet, a UK-based software company, introduced the OpenBet Locator. Powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), OpenBet Locator is a high-precision geolocation tool designed to help operators globally accurately track, promote to, and monitor customers while ensuring regulatory compliance. It includes features such as flexible geo-fence management, high-precision location tracking, real-time fraud prevention for VPN and location spoofing, CRM targeting, data analysis, and promotions, as well as multi-tenanted support for a traveling wallet and configurable options for streamlined business operations.
In March 2021, Intrepid Travel, an Australian travel company, entered into a partnership with Genairgy with the aim of becoming a $1 billion adventure travel company. This partnership is set to advance Intrepid Travel’s growth strategy across four key areas, digital transformation, product innovation, market expansion, and purpose-driven initiatives. The collaboration is part of Intrepid’s plan to reach its goal of becoming the first $1 billion adventure travel company by 2025. Genairgy is a geotourism company based in France.
