The report "Sustainable tourism worldwide" analyzes trends, attitudes, challenges, and actions related to environmentally friendly tourism in recent years. Based on the statistics, international tourist arrivals in 2024 reached more than 1.4 billion people and almost returned to the pre-pandemic level. This growth was observed in all regions of the world except Asia-Pacific.
In 2023, the tourism industry accounted for 6.5% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions; however, the share of low-carbon energies in this sector has remained only 6%. The volume of flights and CO₂ emissions from air transport in 2024 has returned to a level beyond the pre-COVID-19 era. Also, 7 of the 15 top sustainable destinations in 2024 are in the Nordic countries, with Helsinki, at a score of 92.43, in first place.
