Purpose
This paper aims to show how continued failure for tourism to address its global impacts is likely to imply the end of tourism as we know it.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper is an opinion piece that discusses tourism out of the global situation in spring 2019.
Findings
Tourism is about to undermine its own future, largely as a failure of UNWTO and ICAO to address environmental challenges. Ignorance and disinterest continue to characterize supranational and business organizations such as WTTC.
Originality/value
The text is intended to be a wakeup call.
