    Este estudio analiza la evolución del sector turístico frente a las nuevas demandas sociales y su impacto en la sostenibilidad. A través de paneles de expertos se identifican tendencias clave, como la digitalización, la especialización y la preocupación por la sostenibilidad. Se proponen modelos turísticos sostenibles y competitivos –como el turismo slow, accesible, científico, enfocado al nomadismo digital, basado en la comunidad, regenerativo, de voluntariado, de bienestar o el de mascotas–. Los resultados destacan la necesidad de adaptar las estrategias del sector para minimizar efectos negativos como la gentrificación y reforzar su contribución social, económica y ambiental.

    This study analyzes the evolution of the tourism sector in the face of new social demands and its impact on sustainability. Expert panels identify key trends such as digitalization, specialization, and sustainability concerns. Sustainable and competitive tourism models are proposed—such as slow tourism, accessible tourism, scientific tourism, digital nomadism tourism, community- based tourism, regenerative tourism, volunteer tourism, wellness tourism, and pet tourism. The results highlight the need to adapt the sector's strategies to minimize negative effects such as gentrification and strengthen its social, economic, and environmental.
