Tourism and Sustainable Development

Tourism involves people traveling to new places for leisure, exploration, or business, benefiting local economies and cultures. Sustainable development in tourism means growing this industry responsibly—protecting the environment, respecting local communities, and ensuring resources are available for future generations. It aims to balance economic benefits with ecological health and cultural integrity, so that tourism can thrive without causing long-term harm. This approach encourages mindful travel that supports local well-being while preserving natural and cultural assets for ongoing enjoyment and prosperity.
