UN SDG 12

How can we promote sustainable tourism in developing countries?

• Sustainable tourism has surged in importance as a response to the urgent need for environmentally conscious and socially responsible travel. With traditional tourism often causing ecological degradation and cultural erosion, sustainable tourism prioritises minimising negative impacts on the environment, preserving local cultures, and equitably distributing economic benefits. As the world faces climate change and seeks to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, sustainable tourism emerges as a solution that not only safeguards natural and cultural treasures but also ensures long-term industry viability, resilience, and positive traveler experiences. Take advantage of this opportunity to reimagine tourism with sustainability at its core.
