both are right depending on if you are asking about one thing or multiple things.

Both are fine. The second sentence specifies that "those sorts of things" are plural, while the first sentence specifies that "that sort of thing" is singular.
You would say "those sorts of things" to refer to multiple things, like
"Why aren't more young students traveling abroad or living outside of their home country?"
"There are no more opportunities for those sorts of things."
And you would say "that sort of thing" to refer to one specific thing, like
"Why aren't more students traveling abroad?"
"There are no more opportunities for that sort of thing."
