| Description: | It all about promoting tourism here. And not just any kind of tourism, it is about responsible, sustainable and universally accessible tourism with an eye leaning towards the interests of developing countries. Sure, why not. They are the ones who gained greatly from tourism and the most to lose if tourism loses momentum. And the money goes to their economy which better the lives of the people there. Anyway, the World Tourism Organization functions as some sort of a guide to such tourism - they have this Global Code of Ethics for Tourism which they claim will ensure that these tourist destinations maximize the positive economic, social and cultural effects of tourism and they themselves will benefit from tourism while hopefully "minimizing its negative social and environmental impacts". Yes, tough job indeed. No matter how you put it, tourism will effect the environment, mostly in a bad way. But with some support, I think a balance can be achieved. They have 154 countries as members. |
