Agenda 21 for Sustainable Tourism

Agenda 21 for Sustainable Tourism is a global plan developed in 1992 to promote responsible tourism that benefits local communities, protects the environment, and supports economic growth. It encourages practices that minimize negative impacts, conserve resources, and respect cultural heritage. The goal is to balance tourism development with environmental preservation and social equity, ensuring tourism contributes positively to local sustainability. By following these guidelines, tourism can be both enjoyable and mindful of the planet's finite resources and diverse cultures.
