43 Tourism Towards 23 in one page Tourism Towards 23 shows that there is still a great potential for further expansion in coming decades; emerging as well as established destinations can benefit from this trend and opportunity, provided they shape the adequate conditions and policies with regard to business environment, infrastructure, facilitation, marketing and human resources Along with opportunities, challenges also arise in maximising social and economic benefits and minimising negative impacts Long-term tourism growth pattern: more moderate, sustainable and inclusive

44 Asia and the Pacific: how to make it possible Opportunities - natural resources - cultural resources - human resources - price competitiveness - large populations fuelling intrareg. travel - economic dynamism - travel facilitation - planning & product development Challenges - infrastructure development - congestion management - quality - marketing and promotion - e-marketing - image building and branding - coordination, cooperation, collaboration
