Tourist charter

Article Abstract:

The tourist industry worldwide is developing ever more quickly because of the short-term profit motive. Some feel the tourists are not to blame for a certain level of disinterest in sustainable tourism because they are not in the area for long. Sustainable tourism focuses on environmental care to protect cultural and historical resources, the economy and ecology from destruction. Strict building regulations cannot be relied upon to prevent unsustainable tourism development, however. A report of the 1995 World Conference on Sustainable Tourism is presented.
