Popular forms of alternative tourism include agritourism, volunteering, ecotourism, cultural, and heritage tourism.

However, high costs associated with infrastructural development and certification for some alternative activities remain a key restraint. The market sees opportunities in promoting emerging destinations in developing regions that offer untapped natural and cultural attractions. Collaboration with local communities is important to ensuring tours and lodging respect the needs and values of local inhabitants. Further, developing sustainable practices and responsible guidelines across the sector can help expand and promote the long-term growth of the alternative tourism industry.
