This is due to changing traveler preferences and increasing interest in diverse artistic experiences. This trend is driven by the desire of tourists to interact with and experience the various artistic forms of different regions to gain a better understanding of different cultures around the globe.

Lack of local engagement between tour operators and artists is a challenge that affects market growth. Local communities play an important role in protecting and promoting artistic heritage, and when their involvement is restricted, there's a risk that art becomes a commodity for tourists without intrinsic value. One of the main reasons for this is the lack of communication between the tourism sector and the local artists or the community. In some cases, tour operators or travel agencies may focus on popular or traditional destinations, neglecting the abundance of artistic expression in the local communities.
Furthermore, the lack of community involvement can also limit the economic benefits for the local community. This means that local artisans and businesses are missing out on opportunities for cooperation and development. These factors will hinder the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
