Jointly Building a New Pattern of Sustainable Mountain Tourism, The IMTA Annual Conference 2024 is About to Kick Off

With the advent of the era of mass tourism, the tourist population has continuously expanded, and consumer demand has evolved and upgraded. Tourists now have shorter decision-making cycles, higher frequencies, and a stronger pursuit of the travel experience. New demands and changes in the industry have accelerated the development of tourism formats, and traditional popular destinations are also looking forward to quality improvement and transformation. Besides natural sightseeing, vacation, health and wellness, outdoor sports, and cultural experiences have endowed mountain tourism with more connotations. Diversified and multi-layered market demands have posed higher requirements and challenges for the industry's resource development and product iteration.
