Documents and Reports on Sustainable Tourism |
As with sustainability in general, sustainable tourism documents and reports tend to focus more on the environmental aspects, and overlap with eco-tourism issues. But a gradual balance in understanding of the broader socio-cultural, economic and environmental issues is helping raise the importance of sustainable tourism, particularly in developing countries.

Cities to absorb growth in world tourism:
International tourist arrivals in
1995 were 563 million and are expected to reach 1.6 billion by the year
2020. These forecasts use a conservative growth rate of 4.3% and 6.7%
respectively; less than the current growth rate. They do not include any
domestic tourism which can readily be anticipated to equal the
international. It is obvious that most of this increase will have to be
absorbed by cities.
