When responsibly planned and managed, tourism has demonstrated its capacity to support job creation, promote inclusive social integration, protect natural and cultural heritage, conserve biodiversity, generate sustainable livelihoods and improve human wellbeing.

Is tourism a sustainable development strategy?

The tourism industry has accepted the concept of sustainable development and has adopted the concept of sustainable tourism. The sustainable tourism develops the idea of meeting current requirements of the tourists and of the tourism industry, while protecting the environment and opportunities for the future

The commercial sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism is a growing problem in destinations all over the world. This problem seems to be improving thanks to help of the associations like UNICEF

Tourism, a user of the cultural heritage of mankind and contributor to its enhancement

2022-04-30 08:21:02 UTC

The tourist resources belong to the world heritage. To maintain respect for the artistic heritage, were conducted specific policies and activities to preserve monuments, churches, museums and other cultural heritage.

The financial resources that are obtained from the visits, are used for the maintenance and safety of these heritage so that the shooting activity survives at its best.

Right to tourism

2022-05-13 08:37:00 UTC

Everyone should be able to travel safe in our world and find out local art, statues, picture and food. Not only wealth people can travel but also people with economic problems. Social tourism, and in particular associative tourism, which facilitates widespread access to leisure, travel and holidays, should be developed with the support of the public authorities.

Tips to help local economy:

2022-05-13 08:39:21 UTC

-  Buying food and any type of items from local shops and not from the big Multinationals. 
- Choose a farmhouse or maybe a family-run b&b instead of maybe a large chain of hotels that doesn’t give resources and help to local people.
- If you had joined the place where you have been, you should always talk about it with as many people as possible, because not always the most beautiful places get the attention that they deserve.

Liberty of tourist movements

2022-05-13 08:39:33 UTC

Tourists and visitors should have access to all available forms of communication, internal or external; they should benefit from acting and easy access to local administrative, legal and health services

It defines the right to tourism as "a right equally open to all the world's inhabitants" and it supports the 'liberty of tourist movements'.

Can all people travel?

2022-05-13 08:47:27 UTC

Obviously not all people can travel, one of these problems is because they are not paid well and for this reason they do not "create" tourism.

Implementation of the principles of the Global Code of Ethics for Tourism

2022-05-13 08:48:34 UTC

All the people involved in the tourism project , must work together to implement and monitor these 9 principles.Stakeholders in tourism development should primarily recognise the World Tourism Organisation and non-governmental organisations competent in the field of tourism promotion and development, the protection of human rights, the environment or health.
These parties should demonstrate that is important to respect the Global Code of Ethics for Tourism.

For me this article is important because it allows tourists to keep their religion and culture
This article must be respected because it favors the development of tourism.
Stakeholder participation is particularly important when dealing with mobility problems in touristic remote areas, in which there is a need to find sustainable solutions to increase transport accessibility.

2022-05-14 07:41:42 UTC

" Tourism is a genuine driver of solidarity and development. Let us all fully harness its power to bring people and communities together, abiding by the Global Code of Ethics for Tourism. This way tourism can keep delivering better opportunities and sustainable development for millions across the globe. "

The tourist resources and vandalism

2022-05-14 07:53:28 UTC

Today many commons and tourist resources such as monuments, museums, paintings and many other things are damaged due to vandalism, often practiced by young people. An example is that of the Colosseum in Rome when a German student on a school trip engraved initials on the wall of the Colosseum in the period between April and May 2019.

The best passports to hold in 2022 are:

2022-05-14 07:53:44 UTC

1. Japan, Singapore (192 destinations)

2022-05-14 07:55:55 UTC

For me this article is important because it teaches how to respect the environment.
Teach the tourist how to behave in another tourist place.
Teach to respect the different religions, cultures and traditions

2022-05-14 08:01:09 UTC

The Global Code of Ethics for Tourism is closely linked to the 2030 agenda, in fact both have rules to "respect". The Global Code of Ethics for Tourism speaks of 10 articles that a responsible tourist must respect, and the agenda speaks of 17 goals to be achieved by 2030. They are two projects united because they concern the environment, education, transport and many other things.

How to solve these problems?

2022-05-19 17:32:05 UTC

These problems can be solved thanks to associations that help people with economic problems, perhaps by offering them cheap travel packages.

Tip

2022-05-20 08:23:35 UTC

a help that we can give is to surely begin to spread among us the ideas of this code, talk about it with as many people as possible and even share it on social networks, will make it clear to the authorities and the government that we young people care topics and that are really important for us, if more people are active for if more people take action to enforce these ideals even the largest associations and the government had to respect this

2022-05-20 08:29:12 UTC

As an example, to norcia, when a tourist asks us for advice and information,we should always support the local activities and the typical small typical shops,  so as to support the local economy and spread the word among more as many people as possible.

tips for responsible tourism

2022-05-25 16:39:18 UTC

1.Look for as much information as possible about the country you are about to visit: history, culture, economy, nature, religion, cuisine... and maybe even some expression in the local language.

2.If you can, choose tour operators, airlines and hotels that are committed to the host communities and the environment.

3.Remember that the holiday is also a moment of confrontation with a different culture. Try to adapt to local customs and habits, without imposing your habits and lifestyles.

4.Even if you have paid for your holiday, respect the rules of the place: do not go unpunished to get privileges and exceptions and do not adopt offensive or haughty behavior.

5.Wear appropriate and not too conspicuous clothing, especially in places of worship. Do not flaunt wealth and luxury in contrast to the local standard of living. Supports cultural events and local crafts
