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.
