Envisioning Tourism in 2030 is a new research report developed to help policymakers and the tourism industry understand what a global, thriving, de-carbonising tourism industry could look like by 2030 and through to 2050, when tourism and every other human activity must achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions.

- The need to consider equity and fairness, recognizing that some destinations are more ready for the scenario than others.
