Key aspects of the sustainable approach
Sustainability in tourism rests on a balance between three fundamental dimensions: the environmental, focused on the responsible use of natural resources and the conservation of biodiversity; the economic, focused on generating equitable benefits and stable employment; and the sociocultural, based on respect for the identity and values of host communities.
