Tourism is sustainable, because tourists take out their own garbage and tread lightly on the continent.
No. Tourism can be sustainable.
There are two versions of sustainable tourism. Eco-tourism is similar but is more focussed on environmental impacts and saving the world for future generations. Sustainable tourism is a place, event or tourist attraction that is sustainable in three main areas, it meets the "Triple Bottom Line". To be sustainable, it must be economically, environmentally and socio-culturally sustainable. Not many tourism ideas and places are, but they can meet the Line partially.
Eco-tourism is an alternative to mass tourism and it aims to be sustainable. for example,Tourism in the Galapagos is strictly controlled. It attracts small parties of eco-tourists who come to experience its unique enivornment and wild life. During their stay on the islands, they must follow a strict code of conduct. Tourism is gathered in small numbers and visitors must be accompanied by trained naturalist guides.
Destinations for doomsday tourism are: · Galapagos Island · Greenland · Antarctica · Australia
Using sustainable tourism would be a logical solution. The aim of sustainable tourism is to make a low impact on the environment and local people while opening future job opportunities for locals and creating an enjoyable and financially sustainable tourism resort.
