The emerging trend of niche tourism: Impact analysis

Abstract

This research paper addresses the current tourism global market shift towards a niche tourism approach and focuses on some of the most significant tourism forms in this growing sector, analyzing both the current development and future evolution of these tourism trends, also taking into account the current global pandemic situation. The enormous versatility and potential of the selected niches are assessed, and the impact that these activities will have on mainstream tourism is highlighted, both economically and socially, as this trend continues to expand and integrate itself in the tourism global marketplace. The niche sectors analyzed in this research paper will fundamentally transform the tourism industry in the near future and, inevitably, alter the consumer experience by bringing more services and experiences into the mainstream tourism sector.
