摘要：As tourism is strongly connected with other sectors in the economy,the impact of key factors will shape the world of the future. Those factors can be grouped in four major sectors: economy and globalization,natural resources and environment,science and technology,and demographics. Each of those influencing factors will accentuate the importance of global tourism trends and will determine varying inputs in different regions and countries. As tourism confronts itself with the general economic crisis,attracting different types of consumers represents,nowadays a development priority. As a result,this paper tries to underline the main characteristics of the new consumers of tourism services,the leisure one and the challenge of the tourism industry in adapting to their needs and wants.
