Differentiating between sustainable tourism and green tourism<br />

• The diagram to the right shows the type(s) of tourism associated with each of the three pillars of<br />

sustainable development.<br />

• It shows that ecotourism is focussed on<br />

the natural environment, while<br />

sustainable tourism strives for a<br />

balance between the three<br />

pillars of social, economic and<br />

environmental sustainability.<br />

• Since urban areas are not part<br />

of the natural world, we will<br />

refer to this sector as green<br />

tourism rather than ecotourism.<br />
