Sustainable tourism is a form of tourism that follows the principles of sustainability. Sustainable tourism in its purest sense, is an industry committed to making a low impact on the natural environment and local culture, while helping to generate income and employment for locals.[1]
Global economists forecast continuing international tourism growth, ranging between three and six percent annually, depending on the location. As one of the world's largest and fastest growing industries, this continuous growth will place great stress on remaining biologically diverse habitats and indigenous cultures, which are often used to support mass tourism. Tourists who promote sustainable tourism are sensitive to these dangers and seek to protect tourist destinations, and to protect tourism as an industry. Sustainable tourists can reduce the impact of tourism in many ways, including:
- informing themselves of the culture, politics, and economy of the communities visited
- anticipating and respecting local cultures' expectations and assumptions
- contributing to intercultural understanding and tolerance
- supporting the integrity of local cultures by favoring businesses which conserve cultural heritage and traditional values
- supporting local economies by purchasing local goods and participating with small, local businesses
- conserving resources by seeking out businesses that are environmentally conscious, and by using the least possible amount of non-renewable resources

The wold are a big bomb!!!
Is more important the ecomity than the nature.The bigs forest are cutting,burning... and the sea is the big Dumpster for the wold.
Now we have a new tourism,the ecotourim,is the best option if you wont to safe the planet.
!!!think globally act locally!!!
I think the best way to save the natural environment and preserve local cultures is to educate people; on one side, it's very difficult that people that don't care about our environment could agree with "ecotourism" ideas,so the first thing to do would be to explain people how important is to preserve our planet;on the other side, I consider that if you don't know a word about the Maya's culture, for example, you will not understand their traditions and will not respect them...In my opinion, ecoturism should be for us as logical as throwing papers to the trash
Hi Borja
"the world is ..." you need an "r" and the verb in singular form.
"It is more important the economy" Don't forget about the subjects and "economy"
"the big forests" remember that the adjectives have no plural form.
"are being cut and burn" the passive form.
"it's the best option if you want to save the planet"
Be careful with the subjects and the tenses and the right spelling of words.
See you.
Hi Rosana
I agree with you. Good explanation!
