Post-pandemic, responsible travel surged, with a 61% rise in sustainable travel searches. Projected growth of 9.54% yearly till 2027 (approx $335.93 bn globally) underscores its significance. New responsible travel companies emerged, offering sustainable trips. Destinations like Costa Rica saw a rise in sustainable wildlife experiences. Yet, questions linger about the depth of this trend and its impact on communities and fragile environments.

Project Details

In nearly five years, the tourism increases in whole world for 285%, and this amount of number increase make our nature have serious impact. The people don't know how to interact with animal and locals. Also this crazy increase tourism are make some hot spot become really crowed and overwhelming. So in this project we want to focus on how can we help tourism behaviour well, also how can we reduce the hotspot people number.
