We take one definition from the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Platform:
Sustainable Tourism
Tourism that leads to the management of all resources in
a manner that economic, social, and aesthetic needs are
fulfilled while maintaining cultural integrity, essential
ecological processes, biodiversity, and life-support
For the other one we look at the City of Cape Town 2009 Responsible Tourism Policy:
Responsible Tourism
Tourism that maximizes the benefits to local
communities, minimizes negative social or environmental
impacts, and helps local people conserve fragile cultures
and habitats.
