The increasing number of people traveling worldwide is anticipated to drive the growth of the Tourism Security market in the coming years. Traveling refers to the movement of individuals from one location to another for leisure, business, or other purposes, encompassing both domestic and international trips. The surge in travel is attributed to a strong post-pandemic recovery in international tourism, fueled by pent-up demand, enhanced travel connectivity, and the reopening of key source and destination markets. Tourism Security facilitates travel by offering safety measures, risk management systems, and protective infrastructure, ensuring that travelers feel secure while destinations can handle higher visitor volumes without compromising public safety. For example, in February 2024, the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), a Spain-based United Nations specialized agency, reported that international tourism saw an estimated 1.28 billion tourist arrivals in 2023, representing a 34% increase from 2022. Consequently, the rising number of global travelers is boosting the growth of the Tourism Security market.
