Sustainable Tourism leads to the ―management
of all resources in such a way that economic,
social and esthetic needs can be fulfilled while
maintaining cultural integrity, essential
ecological processes, biological diversity and
life support systems.‖
Ogilvy PR and Totem Tourism (2011)
highlight the comprehensive nature of
sustainable tourism by defining it as a ―global
approach to tourism that covers planning,
development and the operations of tourism;
that recognizes the wider negative impacts
generated and attempts to increase positive
impact along each of the four pillars of
sustainable development (environment, social,
cultural and economic).‖ Sustainable tourism,
hence, is not just a concept, it is a complex
process, that considers the impacts of tourism
on the present as well as the future, and works
on making places better for people to visit as
well as to live.
