Sustainable Tourism and WTO
UNEP’s proposals on sustainable tourism
Background: A variety of groups and organizations have undertaken work on tourism, on its environmental effects and to a lesser extent on the implications of tourism for sustainable development. Some of these groups have presented guidance for sustainable tourism based on their work. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has surveyed those main proposed Principles for Implementation of Sustainable Tourism. These proposed principles were presented at the UNEP High Level Committee of Ministers and Officials in November 1998.
The UNEP Governing Council, meeting in February 1999, approved a consultation process with major groups to finalize an agreed set of principles. By promoting agreement of a consolidated set of principles, UNEP is seeking to encourage a movement from debate to more widespread action and adoption of sustainable tourism practices.
UNEP Survey:Based on the survey of guidelines for sustainable tourism, the elements of sustainable tourism which are most frequently cited include:
putting sustainable development into practice in the development, management and integration of tourism with the wider economy, the environment;
protecting bio diversity, the environment and natural resources;
including the participation of all stakeholders, and in particular, local communities in tourism; and ensuring that local communities have an equitable share in benefits resulting from tourism;
sitting tourism operations and development appropriately to avoid damage to bio diversity and the environment;
operation within the capacities of the environment, and of available infrastructure;
using resources efficiently, and preventing pollution and waste.
Summary: In summary, sustainable tourism may be defined as tourism that puts the principles of sustainable development, as for example, set out in the Rio Declaration, into practice in all aspects of its operation and development.
The Question: The key question is how to put sustainable development into practice in tourism activities ―from mass tourism to nature based and specialist tourism.
UNEP’s Proposals: UNEP’s proposals on principles for implementation of Sustainable Tourism cover the mechanisms and strategies that are most frequently cited for implementing sustainable tourism.
Application: These elements are generally applicable to all major groups involved in tourism activities and planning ─Government at national and local level, business and industry, NGOs and international organizations. All have roles in implementing these principles for sustainable tourism.
ONE: INTEGRATION of Tourism into Overall Policy for Sustainable Development, through: Regional and National Strategies: to balance tourism with broader economic, social and environmental objectives, and integrate it into sustainable development plans.
Interagency Coordination and Cooperation: to improve the management and development of tourism between different departments.
Interagency Management: to coordinate the allocation of land uses, and use of other resources, and to regulate inappropriate activities that damage ecosystems.
Reconciling Conflicting Resource Uses: to identify and resolve conflicts between tourism and other activities at an early stage, by involving all relevant stakeholders in the development, and effective implementation of sound management plans.
TWO: DEVELOPMENT of Sustainable Tourism, through: Planning for Development & Land-use at sub-National Level: to conserve the environment, maintain the quality of the visitor experience, and provide benefits for local communities.
Environment Impact Assessment (EIA): to anticipate environment impacts by undertaking comprehensive EIAs for all tourism development programs.
Planning Measures:to ensure that tourism development remains within national and local plans for all types of activities,by implementing effective carrying capacity programs, planning controls and management.
Legislative Framework: to establish standards for land use in tourism development, tourism facilities, management and investment in tourism.
Environment St andards: to improve environmental quality, to set targets for reducing pollution from all sectors and to prevent development in inappropriate areas.
Regional Approaches: to establish common models for incentives, environmental policies, and integrated tourism development planning at regional level.
