Abstract

Tourists travel for a huge variety of reasons, some of which are highly specialized and involve relatively small numbers, but their activities, understood as niche tourism, contribute to economic, social and cultural sustainability in many parts of the world. Niche tourism is often viewed as a panacea or virtuous counterpoint to mass tourism, sometimes neglecting the diversity and complexity of tourism activities that might be considered under this heading. People have a desire to do something different and achieve memorable experiences but these activities must be considered in the context of sustainable development and may also consider potential increases in domestic tourism in the aftermath of COVID-19.
