    What is sustainable tourism? Tourism is important


    • Aims to maintain a balance between to our efforts to
    protecting the environment; achieve sustainable
    development. It is a
    • Maintains cultural integrity and
    establishes social justice; massive industry,
    and many countries
    • Promotes economic benefits; rely on it for their

    The World Tourism Organisation (WTO) defined sustainable
    tourism development as meeting:

    ‘...the needs of present tourists and host regions


    while protecting and enhancing opportunities for the
    future. It is envisaged as leading to management of
    all resources in such a way that economic, social and
    aesthetic needs can be fulfilled while maintaining
    cultural integrity, essential ecological processes,
    biological diversity and life support systems” (WTO,
    2001, cited in Liu, 2003, p.460).
    • Sustainable tourism development
    guidelines and management
    practices are applicable to all forms
    of tourism in all types of destinations,
    including mass tourism and the
    various niche tourism segments.
    • Sustainability principles refer to the
    environmental, economic, and socio-
    cultural aspects of tourism
    development, and a suitable balance
    must be established between these
    three dimensions to guarantee its
    long-term sustainability.
    Thus, sustainable tourism should:
    1. Make optimal use of environmental resources that constitute a key
    element in tourism development, maintaining essential ecological
    processes and helping to conserve natural heritage and
    biodiversity.
    2. Respect the socio-cultural authenticity of host communities,
    conserve their built and living cultural heritage and traditional
    values, and contribute to inter-cultural understanding and
    tolerance.
    3. Ensure viable, long-term economic operations, providing socio-
    economic benefits to all stakeholders that are fairly distributed,
    including stable employment and income-earning opportunities
    and social services to host communities, and contributing to
    poverty alleviation.

    Responsible Tourism
    Responsible Tourism is about “making better places for
    people to live in and better places for people to visit.”
    Responsible Tourism requires that operators, hoteliers,
    governments, local people and tourists take
    responsibility, take action to make tourism more
    sustainable.
    • Responsible Tourism is about using tourism to make better
    places for people to live in and better places for people to visit, in
    that order. It is different from sustainable tourism in that it
    focuses on what people, businesses and governments do to
    maximise the positive economic, social and environmental
    impacts of tourism.
    • It is about identifying the important issues locally and addressing
    those, transparently reporting progress towards using tourism
    for sustainable development.
    How to be a responsible tourist

     Minimise transport

     Don’t purchase endangered species produce
