Sustainable Tourism

People love traveling to different places for various other reasons. Whenever people have time, energy and money, they travel to new places. Today, there are over 1 billion tourists traveling to different part of the world every year. With continuous growth of the consumers, the new markets are continuously emerging.

The nature of tourism itself is unique among industries because it is selling a product that is not owned by anyone and is shared among many. This is a fragile product that needs protection but tourism today operates in a price driven market where margins are increasingly squeezed if care isn’t taken, quality is dripping down and destinations is degraded and the opportunity to offer enriched holiday experience to customers is missed.

With a different more sustainable approach tourism can offer greater rewards for business and at the same time benefit the environment and communities living in destinations and of course customers. The past decade has seen the world change rapidly of economically and environmentally. The pressure for sustainable tourism has got greater and greater by the day.

As the travel industry keeps on growing and develop, it produces huge effects on cultural assets, utilization of environment, contamination and social frameworks. And unknowingly when environment is not cared for it gradually depletes and eventually is destroyed. And the sad part of it is that negative effects of tourism are clear to see. And many tends to ignore it. The sad reality of mountain trail is that litter is chocking the beauty of pure natural beauty. So it is up to consumer and business developer to protect the environment. There is endless discussion on how consumer as well as business developer can work collaboratively to minimize the negative impact on environment. Travelers among themselves are also wary about environmentally and culturally sensitive way to travel.

Therefore, to tame down the negative impacts on environment, concept of sustainable tourism was introduced. Sustainable tourism is in some ways similar to responsible ecotourism. It depends on the premises of dealing with the earth, society and the economy. Sustainable tourism intent to limit the negative effects of the travel industry, while amplifying the positive effects.

The Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) and Tourism Concern (1991) plot 10 standards for practical the travel industry. These are plot beneath:

  • Training staff. Staff preparing which coordinates sustainable tourism into work rehearses, alongside recruitment of personnel at all levels, improves the nature of the tourism and its product.
  • Marketing tourism independently. Marketing that gives travelers the full and responsible information increases regard for natural, social and cultural environment of destination areas and enhances customer satisfaction.
