5 Examples of Sustainable Tourism
The sustainable tourism is tourism that preserves the productivity of the systems, reducing the impact on the ecosystem and traditional cultural aspects. But, in addition, this type of tourism can generate economic income for the State, money that is used in part to continue supporting the place and to pay the people who work there.
With sustainable tourism, the exploitation of natural resources is controlled in order to preserve their productivity. The objective is to prolong the tourist activity and that it does not conflict with society or nature itself.
