Others

security & terrorism
higher cost of travel due to gas / petrol price increase
crowded skies
safety - older planes, higher crime rates
competition for tourist money
Ecotourism would be a great issue. Trying to sustain the environment. Issues with visiting indegenous population. The effects of terrorism on numbers and notions of security. Changes in the age groups who travel and the way they travel. It should be an interesting paper.
1) Security - the constant threat of terrorism and how this has impacted tourism in countries that are perceived to be terrorist targets.

2) Environmental impact - the impact of tourism on the environment and the fact that airplanes are one of the biggest contributors to carbon emission. By promoting tourism, we actually encourage more air pollution. Can something be done to mitigate this or at least compensate for the carbon emission produced?

3) Increased ecotourism - in part due to the above, many are now travelling to areas where the ecology is well preserved and they can observe wildlife in its natural state before everything disappears.

4) Emergence of China & India - these 2 new emerging countries will provide the next wave of newly affluent tourists who will pay to see the world. Understanding their interests and travel aspirations will be key for markets wishing to attract these tourists and their dollars.
