Why(কেন) Sustainable Tourism? • Though travel can generate economic benefits for a local area and provide jobs for those in the industry, it can also have negative consequences, including over-use of resources, displacement of wildlife, and damage to local culture, all while contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. • As tourism is expected to continue to grow in the years ahead, current tourism habits will become unsustainable because they are causing too much harm to the environment, local communities, and the earth’s natural resources. This makes sustainable travel essential for the long-term viability of the tourism industry • By prioritizing sustainable tourism, governments, travel companies, airlines, hotels, restaurants, and travelers can all help to ensure tourism is still possible in the years to come. When steps are taken to benefit locals and minimize the harm caused by tourism, it becomes a force for good in the world

Types of sustainable Tourism Eco-Tourism: responsible or green tourism to areas of natural beauty, with a particular focus on ecological conservation. Ecotourism aims to protect the natural environment, find ways to benefit local communities while respecting their culture, and educate travelers about the importance of responsible travel. Energy efficiency, water conservation, and protection of wildlife and indigenous people are all key Community Tourism: occurs when a local community invites tourists to visit and provides accommodation. Crucially, this ensures that the local community always has control over their local tourism industry, making the key decisions and setting their own restrictions. Community tourism is often based on creating realistic life experiences in developing areas, and unique or unusual accommodation is a regular feature
Contd… Rural/ Ethno Tourism: refers to travel that centers around rural rather than urban areas. It includes everything from hiking and camping trips, to agro-tourism, where tourists may participate in farming activities and experience agricultural lifestyles. Ultimately, this kind of tourism focuses on natural features, such as forests, hills, mountains, fields, and waterfalls, rather than cities, tourist hot spots, and built-up areas Soft Tourism: is a form of travel that prioritizes local experiences, education, respect for local culture, and avoiding tourist hot spots. It can be contrasted with hard or mass tourism, which is large-scale and focused on popular tourist attractions and destinations. Companies operating according to soft tourism principles will prioritize longer stays, jobs for locals, and measures to avoid over-crowding
Advantages of sustainable Tourism • 1. It looks after for wild life • prevents natural habitats from being destroyed and allows animals to thrive • allows wild animals to stay in the wild, rather than being in captivity and used as a tourist attraction • 2. It protects environment • Sustainable hotels and other forms of accommodation will use eco-friendly materials and take steps to limit the amount of waste they produce or the amount of resources they use.
Contd… • 3. It supports local people • provide jobs for people of local area • funding for local projects, • stimulate the local economy • 4. It has long-term focus • Ultimately, sustainable tourism has a much more long-term focus than other forms of tourism, which prioritize the needs of today at the expense of future generations and their requirements. A major advantage of sustainable travel is that it brings together businesses, tourists, and governments intending to adopt strategies that look out for the long-term future of the tourism industry, local communities, tourists, and the planet

Examples of Sustainable Tourism Controlled Tourism in Bhutan (High value, Low Impact) • strict entry requirements • a daily visitor tariff which includes necessary expenses for the visit such as accommodation, a licensed tour guide, meals and hiking equipment. • A large portion of the tariff is used to maintain and develop the country’s infrastructure, as well as contribute towards Bhutan’s free health care and education. Solar Power resort in Fiji (5 Star Resort Six Senses Fiji) • 100% solar power equipped with rainwater capture and its own onsite water-filtration site to eliminate the use of single-use plastic bottles. • aims to be as low-waste as possible, encouraging the principles of reuse whilst also practicing recycling and composting with a “worm-based septic system” and growing as much of its own herbs and vegetables as possible. • All handiwork and artwork at the hotel has been produced by local villagers
