Sustainable tourism is not only about caring
the people and places you visit, but also about actively
supporting communities, traditional cultures and helping to
build or rebuild local livelihoods that have often been
devastated by outside, foreign influences.
Our main concern is to ensure that we do not
impose western culture on the traditional village life but, by
providing a regular income to the villagers, ensure that they
maintain their unique cultural facets. The preservation of
village life is the primary draw card for people from the
outside wanting to share a small part of this culture which
makes their tour unique and memorable.
Achieving sustainable development is one of
the key issues facing modern societies. It needs to balance
economic, ecological, and social objectives are critical to the
survival of all species on Earth, including that of human
beings.
Tourism is now one of the largest industries
on Earth. As such, tourism has the potential to support or
destroy places, cultures, wildlife and communities around the
globe.
If tourism is to continue as an
economically viable global industry, it will have to become both
ecologically and socially responsible. In other words, tourism
needs to become sustainable. Rather than simply preserving the
environment for the benefit of future generations, sustainable
tourism cares for communities, traditional cultures, and local
livelihoods. Their future economic depends on maintaining the
beauty and integrity of natural resources and environments |
