Leaders of the biggest economies in the world get together to debate global financial and economic
policies at the G20 Summit. The next G20 Summit will be held on the African continent for the first
time, hosted by South Africa from November 22–23, 2025. Both domestically and internationally,
the tourism industry is anticipated to be significantly impacted by this catastrophe. This document
explores the impact this summit brings both domestically and internationally through uses of
articles, internet, research and focuses its findings on Economic impacts, growing the economy
through employment opportunities, Daniel Bradlow(11 March 2025) reports “The G20 is a forum in
which the largest economies in the world meet regularly to discuss, and attempt to address, the
most urgent international economic and political challenges. The group, which includes both rich
and developing countries, accounts for about 67% of the world’s population, 85% of global GDP and
75% of global trade.” Social and cultural impacts showcasing the different cultural aspects in South
Africa and targeting social issues that impose slow growth of the economy. Environmental impacts
such as carbon footprint, climate change, eruption of the ozone layer and its impact on flight prices
due to policies instilled such as for carbon footprint. Changes in travel behaviour and consumer
preferences. Recommendations such as Strategic planning and policy measures infrastructure
development and investment, sustainable tourism practices and resilience-building initiatives,
collaboration between public and private sectors, the above factors all corelate in Tourism and the
rise or fall of one impacts all the others, having a summit and focusing on factors such as the above
helps to identify where to improve etc. Ohene Ampofo-Anti(n.d.) states that “The G20 Summit will
take place on African soil for the first time next year, offering an unprecedented platform to push
for rights-based reforms in the global economic system.”
Economic impacts
The G20 Summit Impact on Tourism economically is quite significant. South African tourism
witnessed a decline during Covid. Risenga Maluka reports (n.d.) “According to Statistics South
Africa's Tourism 2022 report, the number of visitors fell by 19,5% between 2020 and 2021 and by
72,6% between 2019 and 2020, from 10 228 593 to 2 802 320. The number of visitors rose from 2
255 699 in 2021 to 5 698 062 in 2022, a 152.6% increase. Tourist arrivals from January to December
2022 showed a slight recovery, although they are still 44.3% less than in the year before the
epidemic in 2019.” With the G20 Summit Impact set to be hosted by South Africa this brings a
plethora of opportunities for economic growth in the tourism sector. The G20 Summit offers
numerous opportunities for skill development, employment, and investment in tourism
infrastructure. The event requires upskilling and training to meet increased expectations, resulting
in new skill sets that contribute to the nation's long-term growth. Careers in administration,
security, customer service, and construction roles are available. Investment in tourism
infrastructure is necessary for smooth arrival and departure of international participants and
media. The summit also boosts small businesses, attracts high-spending visitors, and fosters new
local and international alliances. These partnerships can result in more funding for infrastructure
improvements, economic growth, and tourism promotion, as well as negotiating international trade
deals and attracting foreign investments.
Social and cultural impacts:
Hosting the G20 attracts global attention. “The hosting of the G20 summit is a huge opportunity for
the country and preparations at all levels of government are underway” said the Minister of
Tourism Mc Patricia de Lille. As a result of the event government invest in improving infrastructure
such as hotels, airports and transports. These improvements boost tourism in the following years.
The G20 summit offers the hosting country a platform to showcase their cultures to global
audience. For example, Inako Mateza praising the President Cyril Ramaphosa for the 2025 Sona. In
section 28, G20 leaders “recognize culture’s power and intrinsic value in nurturing solidarity,
dialogue, collaboration and cooperation, fostering a more sustainable world, in all dimensions and
from all perspectives”.
Tourists who came for the summit would want to come back to explore the beauty of the country.
The working group also aims to articulate and communicate the economic and development case
for tourism and mainstream the travel and tourism sector’s voice in the global agenda by building a
more effective voice for the sector. Another goal of the working group is to mobilise collective effort
among tourism ministers to build a sensible tourism policy framework that will help influence
country-level and international economic and development policies.
Environmental impacts:
As the G20 summit is one of the most significant global diplomatic events, it has both direct and
indirect environmental impacts on tourism. Below is the comprehensive analysis of the G20 summit
environmental impact on tourism and how the environmental consequences can be examined from
various angles:
CARBON FOOTPRINT: A carbon footprint quantifies the environmental impact of everyday actions. It
measures the primary and secondary emissions associated with a person or an entity that are
released into the atmosphere.
Travel and transportation-it is one of the important environmental concerns in relation to the G20
summit as transportation of the delegates, security personnel, journalist and attendees will involve
high numbers of using private jets, charted flights, commercial airlines and other transportation
methods like buses, cars and trains. The emissions from these transport modes contribute to the
carbon footprint of the event. The increased demand of the transportation will lead to greater use
of vehicles that will contribute to the air pollution and traffic congestion. there would be an increase
in greenhouse gas emissions as carbon dioxide and other greenhouses are released to the
atmosphere through activities like burning fossil fuels for transportation, industrial processing and
energy production in which will lead to global warming causing disruptions such as extreme
weather events, loss of biodiversity and rising sea levels. The event can focus more on advancing
eco-friendly transportation (e.g. electric vehicles or one transportation to cater for all the attendees
of the event instead of them using private transports) and adopting greener industrial processing
are key measures to reduce the carbon footprint.
Changes in travel behaviour and consumer preferences
The G20 Summit has the power to dramatically impact consumer choices and travel behaviour,
which can increase tourism. For example, hosting the G20 Summit can elevate the host nation
internationally and draw in foreign visitors. The G20 depends on the temporary secretariat and self-
accountability procedures offered by the rotating president since it lacks a permanent secretariat
and legal duties to carry out decisions. For instance, by presenting its famous locations and varied
attractions, South Africa's hosting of the G20 Summit is anticipated to increase tourism. Demand for
lodging, food, and local services may increase due to economic impact, the influx of delegates,
corporate executives, and the media. Increased investment in the travel and hospitality industries
may result from this. Exchange of Cultures The summit offers a chance for cross-cultural
interaction, fostering awareness and respect for the culture of the host nation. Customers'
preferences for regional goods and experiences may be influenced by this. Sustainable
development is frequently emphasised at the G20 Summit. The summit's worldwide publicity can
help the host nation's standing as a top travel destination, drawing additional foreign events and
