Sustainable development and tourism

The concept of sustainability has become a fundamental issue in tourism development and growth after the debate at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992.

Seeing the rapid changes in tourism and the world trends, we are now examining geopolitical, socio-economic, technological and environmental impacts of contemporary tourism.

It was realised that tourism requires an agenda of its own, and not as a part of the overall post structural adjustment process. 

This was reflected in the 7th Meeting of the Commission on Sustainable Development in 1999, which was devoted to tourism impacts around the world.

This was due, to a large extent, to the efforts of NGOs working in different parts of the world coming together to speak in one voice on what their experience had been through grassroots interaction, in the course of the phenomenal growth of tourism in the last two decades.

It, therefore, became a part of the evaluation of the implementation of the Agenda 21 set at Rio.
