6.2 Sustainable tourism development<br />
• Like ecotourism, such terms as sustainable tourism and responsible tourism are rooted in the<br />
concept of sustainable development, or development that "meets the needs of the present<br />
without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs" (Bruntland<br />
Commission, 1987).<br />
• With this concept in mind, sustainable tourism was defined in the 1992 Agenda 21 for the<br />
Travel and Tourism Industry as tourism that "meets the needs of present tourists and host<br />
regions while protecting and enhancing opportunities for the future."<br />
Three interfaces of sustainable tourism<br />
• Tourism has its limitations and must operate within certain constraints – environmental quality,<br />
inclusion of local people, and limit of growth<br />
• Improvement of quality of all involved<br />
• Recognization of interface of different stake groups.<br />
Approaches and strategies<br />
• Participatory planning<br />
• Efficiency<br />
• Environmental friendliness,<br />
• Slow development<br />
• High quality<br />
• Humanistic<br />
• Authenticity<br />
