Tourism has become an undeniable economic lever and a real vector of development for many countries. Indeed, the sector attracts foreign and participates in the equilibrium of the balance of payments, creates direct and indirect jobs, increases incomes and generates multiplier effects on the other sectors of the economy and related services (eg trade, commerce, etc.).
The challenge is to maximize the positive contribution of the sector to local economies, thus reconciling between social and economic development and resource conservation in the broadest sense, including natural and cultural heritage, tangible and intangible heritage.
In other words, tourism development should reach the right balance between the three pillars of sustainability by:
Optimally exploiting the resources of the environment;
Respecting the socio-cultural authenticity of host communities;
Providing all stakeholders of socio-economic benefits.
WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE TOURISM?
There are many definitions for Sustainable Tourism, which are ultimately all pretty consistent.
According to the World Tourism Organization (WTO) "The principles of sustainable development and practices of sustainable tourism management principles are applicable to all forms of tourism in all types of destinations, including mass tourism and the various niche tourist. The Sustainability principles refer to the environmental, economic and socio-cultural development of tourism. To ensure long-term sustainability of the latter, we must strike the right balance between these three aspects. "
Sustainable Tourism is thus characterized by the long-term vision that takes as its evolution and its various benefits (social, cultural, economic, ...) on the host communities. It requires the effective involvement of multiple stakeholders in order to fully achieve its objectives.
