2. Responsible tourism means all tourism directly dependent on
the use of natural life e.g. wildlife and landscape. Nature based tourism
include eco-tourism and mass tourism. Uncontrolled mass tourism
continues to contribute to the degradation of natural & cultural
significance (commercialization of Culture) thus leading or causing loss of
biological and cultural biodiversity, and important sources of income.
Nature based tourism offers a way of financing unique ecosystems
preservation. This provides opportunity for the community living near the
protected areas to benefit economically e.g. employment opportunity. But
Nature based tourism & travel while sustaining eco-system also degrades
them. Much nature based tourism falls short of social responsibility to the
local community. You may want to check out nordic-

3. Sustainable tourism is developed and managed in such a way that
all tourism activities will focus on a heritage resource, natural and cultural
which can be continued imminently and every effort is made to maintain
the resource to perpetuity. According to hector Ceballos-Lascurian (1983)
ecotourism means "the tourism that involves travelling to relatively
undisturbed natural area with the object of admiring, studying and
enjoying the scenery and its wild plants and animals as well as cultural
features found there."
Eco-tourism embraces four basic elements:-
•The natural environment as the primary attraction and the cultural
environment playing a secondary role
•The sustainable use of the ecological and cultural environment.
•Focus on education and the interpretation of the resource
•Provision of the benefit to the host community

4. Tourism is about people and places where one group of people
leave, visit and pass through places, the people who make the trip possible
and the people encountered in the tour, it involves travellers, host
communities and governments.In tourism industry the destination is
perhaps one of the most important elements. The destination region
represents the raison d'tre for tourism and the tourist attraction at the
destination generates the visit. Tourism product is consumed where it is
produced (destination). Hence the destination comes under considerable
pressure from high levels of demand focused both in time and at specific
sites for example the warm East Africa, Indian Ocean coastal beaches
during the northern hemisphere winter. Have a look at nordic-

5. Tourist pressures can lead to alteration of the tourism resource
and as tourism resource and as tourist demand continues to raise so have
many destinations around the world succumbed to environmental
degradation. The impact that some form of tourism development has on
the environment has raised concern among environmentalist and other
constituents. Therefore professional management and planning of
destination are critical if tourism is to contribute to their conservation and
to be perceived as an acceptable industry in a world whose survival is
threatened. You may want to check out nordic-

unspoilt environment in which to operate. It is essential that tour operation
should be developed and managed in such a way that as to protect the
natural assets. We subscribe to the fact that the extent to which tourism is
developed, planned and controlled in an orderly and coordinated manner
will affect the long-term quality of the tourism product and subsequently
the success of the hospitality Industry. While tourism can be a catalyst for
development, it is important for the government agencies plan and develop
tourism carefully so that the benefit can be optimized without creating
social and environmental problems.

6. Low impact forms of tourism counteracts the effects of mass
tourism that poses a number of challenges on the resource base i.e.
environment, society, and economy. Low impact forms of tourism create a
balance between environment quality and resource utilization. This is
mainly aimed at empowering local communities in managing their natural
resources that is creating an incentive to conserve the biological resource in
the environment by allowing the beneficial effects from tourism filter down
to the individual families and households.Alternative tourism is seen as
forms of tourism that are consistent with natural social and community
values and which allows both the host and the guest to enjoy positive and
worthwhile interaction and shared experience it is also known variously as
ecotourism, nature tourism sustainable tourism environmentally friendly,
environmentally sensitive, ecological compatible ecologically sound or
Green and eco-tour such as Walking tours, Birds Safari, Camel safaris
Guided nature walks, horse riding safaris, bicycle tours, home and farm
stays, youth tourism.

7. Many destinations marketed as responsible tourism does not
consider the local community development, economical, social welfare and
human rights. Indeed majority of them care less about the resource as long
as it brings the "green bill ". There must be concern with staff and tourist
education i.e. the expected visitors' behaviour. Thus in this, nature based
tourism is formulated as sustainable development. The concept of set
principles, Ties 1991 defined it as responsible travel to natural areas that
conserve the environment and sustains the well being of the local people.It
is now fashionable to look at tourism development in the context of
"sustainability" "alternative tourism" "green tourism" all of which have a
particular meaning to different people but majority of this are just eco-
labels or marketing and PR slongs. Sustainable tourism is that which meets
the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.

8. Summary:
Nordic Destination develop quality experiences with a focus on
movement, health and relationships. Because experiences must enrich and
enrich the individual.
