| Summary: | Tourism has one of the biggest contributions to sustainable development due to the
dynamism and growth of this sector with direct implications on economic growth
in tourist regions and destinations, as well as to the fact that tourism is based on a
direct link between tourists, the industry, the environment and the local
communities.
The sustainable development of tourism, like in the case of other industries, has
three independent aspects: economic, social-cultural and environmental. This
means that sustainable tourism requires the optimal use of resources, minimizing
the negative economic, socio-cultural and environmental impact, maximizing
benefits for local communities, national economies and nature conservation. As a
result, by developing its many forms of concrete manifestation, sustainable tourism
ensures the natural and economic integrity of the environment and the rational use
of natural and cultural resources, but maintains the potential for future generations. |
