If present growth rates continue, tourism, with its associated social, economic, and environmental impacts, could become the world's largest industry by the end of the century. These impacts may force many countries to reevaluate their tourist policies. Noticeable trends affecting tourism are an increase in leisure time, an expanding middle class, the diffusion of transportation and communication technology, a need to escape from the modern work environment, and a growth in travel marketing. The implications of these developments are examined in the context of world inflation and the scarcity of energy and materials.
