Sustainable tourism can be defined as ‘tourism which meets the needs of present tourists and host regions while protecting and enhancing opportunities for the future’ or ‘protecting the natural and cultural environment of your destination’. Sustainable tourism means in no way that we should not travel and explore the world, but it advocates that in doing so we take into consideration the impact that travel has. This can relate to the journey itself, but also, critically, to the area being visited.
Many poor areas of the world rely on tourism to sustain the local economy but sustainable tourism ensures that this is not to the detriment of the local culture, environment and heritage. It is important to respect the traditions and culture of anywhere you visit and to leave them unspoiled for future generations, both in terms of the local population and future tourists.
