SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
[1] Tourism is one of the world’s fastest
growing industries and is a major source of
income for many countries. Being a peo-
ple-oriented industry, tourism also provides
[5] many jobs which have helped revitalise lo-
cal economies.
However, like other forms of devel-
opment, tourism can also cause its share
of problems, such as social dislocation,
[10] loss of cultural heritage, economic depen-
dence and ecological degradation. Learn-
ing about the impacts of tourism has led
many people to seek more responsible
holidays. These include various forms of
[15] alternative or sustainable tourism such as:
‘nature-based tourism’, ‘ecotourism’ and
‘cultural tourism’. Sustainable tourism is
becoming so popular that some say that
what we presently call ‘alternative’ will be
[20] the ‘mainstream’ ∈a decade.
All tourism activities of whatever mo-
tivation – holidays, business travel, con-
ferences, adventure travel and ecotour-
ism – need to be sustainable. Sustainable
[25] tourism is defined as “tourism that respects
both local people and the traveller, cultural
heritage and the environment”. It seeks to
provide people with an exciting and educa-
tional holiday that is also of benefit to the
[30] people of the host country.
