Sustainable Tourism
Sustainable tourism is…
Tourism attempting to have a low impact on the environment and local culture, while helping to generate future employment for local people.
The aim of sustainable tourism is…
To ensure that development brings a positive experience for local people, tourism companies and the tourists themselves. Sustainable tourism is not the same as ecotourism.
The difference between sustainable tourism and eco-tourism:
Definition: ecotourism is a green or alternative form of tourism that aims to manage the environment sustainably.
Ecotourism is more focused on ecological conservation and educating travelers on local environments and natural surroundings, whereas sustainable tourism focuses on travel that has minimal impact on the environment and local communities.
Ecotourism is a form of tourism, or a category of vacation similar to beach, adventure, health, or cultural, while the concept of sustainability can be applied to all types of tourism.
