Sustainable development

Sustainable development is "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". Sustainable development is a conception of development that takes a long-term perspective and integrates ecological and social constraints into the economy.

The principles applied to tourism :

• To make optimum use of environmental resources as a key element of tourism development, preserving essential ecological processes and helping to safeguard natural resources and biodiversity;
  
• Respecting the socio-cultural authenticity of host communities, conserving their built and living cultural assets and traditional values and contributing to intercultural understanding and tolerance;
  
• To ensure sustainable economic activity with equitably distributed socio-economic benefits for all stakeholders, including stable employment, profit opportunities and social services for host communities, thus contributing to poverty reduction.
