Sustainable Tourism refers to a level of tourism activity that can be
maintained over the long term because it results in a net benefit for the
social, economic, natural and cultural environments of the area in
which it takes place. (ICOMOS)
Sustainable tourism is tourism that is economically, socioculturally and
environmentally sustainable. With sustainable tourism, sociocultural
and environmental impacts are neither permanent nor irreversible.
