The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increased globalization, higher demand for cultural exchange, growth in international partnerships between educational institutions, rising disposable incomes, a greater emphasis on experiential learning, and the expansion of study abroad programs.
The educational tourism market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $607.45 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a rising demand for global learning experiences, increased popularity of study abroad programs, growing support from governments and institutions, expanding middle-class populations, a stronger emphasis on cultural exchange, and the proliferation of online educational platforms.

Consequently, the rising demand for international education is propelling the growth of the educational tourism market.
