SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
What is sustainable tourism?
Sustainable tourism is the concept of visiting somewhere as a tourist and trying to make a positive impact on the environment society, and economy.
Without travel there is no tourism, so the concept of sustainable tourism is tightly linked to a concept of sustainable mobility. Two relevant considerations are:
- tourism's reliance on fossil fuels and
- tourism's effect on climate change.
72 % of tourism's CO2 emissions come from transportation, 24 % from accommodations, and 4 % from local activities. Aviations accounts for 55% of those transportation CO2 emissions (or 40% of tourism's total).
However, when considering the impact of all greenhouse gas emissions from tourism and that aviation emissions are made at high altitude where their effect on climate is amplified, aviation alone accounts for 75% of tourism's climate impact.

PASSIVE VOICE class 5
The passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action (the verb) and the object of a sentence rather than the subject.
This means that the subject is either less important than the action itself or that we don’t know who or what the subject is.
Passive: My scooter was stolen.
Active: Someone stole my scooter
Passive: Chianti area is known for its excellent wines.
Active: Many people know Chianti area for its excellent wines.
Passive: Twenty people were injured in the terror attack.
Active: Someone injured twenty people in the terror attack.
The passive agent
When we know who the accomplish the action and we put it/ him her/them at the end with by.
We call this an agent.
Passive: The "Mona Lisa" was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci
Active: Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa.
Headlines (both newspaper headlines and TV / radio headlines) tend to use passive voice structures.
Why?
Because that way:
a. you can make the relevant information the focus of information, by placing it at the beginning of the sentence:
A Lidl employee is believed to have been fired for working too much.
Paul McCartney is considered the “most successful songwriter in history”.
b. you can be more impersonal in your statements:
It is estimated/ believed that cybercrime costs the global economy $445 billion a year.
Cybercrime is estimated to cost the global economy $445 billion a year.
