Sustainable Tourism - Iceland Naturally Event | Williamsburg, VA | June 9, 2011David Brown
Defining sustainable tourism and how its capacity as a brand amplifier and marketing platform are relevant to all tourism businesses and destinations - specifically Iceland. Examples from San Francisco, TUI, Fairmont Hotels, National Geographic, and the Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria
January 2024. Sustainable Tourism, or Green Tourism, refers to sustainable practices by the tourism industry to minimize its negative impact on the environment and culture, while contributing to the local economy and ecosystem.
Sustainable tourism goals are (1) Protect natural environments, wildlife, and resources (2) Conserve heritage and culture (3) Create social and economic benefits for communities through employment and income earning.
Sustainable tourism offers many environmental, social, and economic benefits:
(A) Environmental benefits include habitat protection, climate change mitigation, pollution, emission, and waste reduction.
(B) Social benefits include local job creation which supports the community's livelihood and standard of living, food security enhancement, and social responsibility encouragement.
(C) Economic benefits include revenue generation and reduced energy and resource costs.
Sustainable tourism implementation strategies are (1) Analyze social, economic, and cultural needs (2) Measure tourism growth drivers and barriers (3) Use tourism as an asset for economic development and (4) Encourage local involvement in planning and decisions.
Sustainable tourism business growth drivers are (1) Preference change: travelers are shifting their focus from traditional concerns like price, quality, and convenience to social, cultural, and environmental issues (2) Awareness: growing awareness of the importance of protecting the natural and cultural habitat of the destination (3) New trend: sustainable tourism is a new concept which presents significant opportunities in the global tourism industry and (4) Social media: younger generations are embracing sustainable tourism, paying more for environmentally and socially committed businesses.
Sustainable tourism business challenges (barriers) are (1) Overtourism: caused by cheap flights and hotels which lead to increased energy consumption and pollution (3) Higher cost: sustainable tourism is higher in cost, leading to a lower profit margin and decreased market share and (4) Implementation lack: no political will to enforce policies and offer incentives.
Policy wise, In 2002, during the Johannesburg summit, organized by the World Tourism Organization (WTO), the Sustainable Tourism – Eliminating Poverty (ST-EP) initiative was established to promote sustainable tourism strategies, job creation, and poverty reduction. The initiative directly supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG8) Target 8.9: By 2030, devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism which creates jobs, promotes local culture and products.
In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, goals, economic, social, and environmental benefits, stakeholders, implementation strategies, business growth drivers and challenges, UN policy, and global statistics of sustainable tourism.

Science alerts us that to significantly slow down Climate Change we have to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and to be neutral by 2050.

In this inspiring, interactive and educating session, we will enter into a deep conversation, exploring the pioneering strategies and actions required to transform tomorrows events industry from one disrupted by a climate emergency to a sector that creates a prosperous future for all.
