Market Report I 2024-03-19 I 80 Pages I Arizton Advisory & Intelligence
The U.S. sustainable travel market was valued at USD 66.22 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.87% from 2023-2029.
The U.S. sustainable travel or tourism market has seen remarkable growth and transformation in recent years, reflecting an increasing awareness and concern for environmental and social issues. Sustainable travel encompasses a range of aspects, including eco-friendly accommodations, responsible tourism practices, and eco-conscious transportation options.
Additionally, travelers can opt for eco-friendly lodgings like ecolodges, treehouses, and sustainable resorts that aim to provide a low-impact, immersive experience in nature. Responsible tourism practices are also central to the U.S. sustainable travel market. Travelers are increasingly interested in supporting local communities and preserving cultural heritage. This has led to a rise in community-based tourism initiatives, cultural exchanges, and volunteering opportunities. Sustainable travel encourages travelers to engage with and respect the destinations they visit.
MARKET DRIVERS
Escalating Environmental Concerns: The U.S. is the world's most significant contributor to plastic waste and emitters of greenhouse gases. Travelers are increasingly concerned about their environmental impact during journeys, leading to a growing demand for eco-friendly and low-impact travel options like electric vehicles, cycling, or public transit. Market players must adopt sustainable practices and reduce their environmental footprint. This includes implementing energy-efficient technologies, reducing single-use plastics, and supporting conservation efforts. Travelers are likelier to choose businesses and destinations that actively address environmental concerns, providing a competitive advantage.
Government Policies Promoting Sustainable Tourism: Governments at various levels in the U.S. are introducing policies and regulations like the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), which has already encouraged measures to support sustainable tourism. This includes incentives for businesses to adopt eco-friendly practices, tax breaks for renewable energy installations, and requirements for sustainable building standards in the hospitality industry. Market players must comply with these policies and utilize available incentives. Adhering to government standards benefits the environment and contributes to a positive public image. Government support can also increase investment in sustainable infrastructure, creating opportunities for sustainable travel businesses.

- The ecolodges accommodation type is growing significantly, with the highest CAGR of 11.29% in the U.S. market during the forecast period.
