Abstrakt: This study identifies the importance of sustainable eco-tourism for European travelers and European tourism businesses. This study analyses the "virtual" demand for and the "virtual" supply of sustainable- and eco-tourism. To measure demand, we use web-engine search trends and analyze the number of hits for these search trends to measure supply. We first analyzed the most important search terms for sustainable- and eco-tourism. Then we used these terms to analyze "virtual" supply and demand for these terms in different European countries and language areas. With this data we could show the similarities and differences across Europe and quantify the differences in the importance of sustainable and eco-tourism in different European economies.
