sustainable tourism
Eco-conscious visiting places
Sustainable tourism is travel and hospitality designed to minimize environmental impact and benefit local communities rather than exploit them.
The concept emerged as mass tourism revealed its capacity to damage ecosystems, displace residents, and erode cultural heritage.
Sustainable tourism practices include supporting locally owned businesses, respecting wildlife habitats, and reducing waste and carbon emissions.
The resort promotes sustainable tourism by hiring local guides and using solar power.
