Tourism is undergoing profound transformations driven by innovation, digitalization, and the global commitment to sustainability. Advances in digital technologies, changing tourist behavior, and increasing environmental concerns are reshaping how destinations are planned, managed, and experienced. Innovation and digital transformation are no longer optional but essential for enhancing competitiveness, improving tourist experiences, and ensuring long-term sustainability. At the same time, green transformation has become a critical pathway for addressing climate change, reducing environmental impacts, and promoting responsible tourism development.
