Sustainable tourism is a type of tourism that aims to reduce the negative impacts on the environment, economy, and society while providing enjoyable and authentic travel experiences for visitors. It involves the responsible use of natural resources, conservation of local cultures and heritage, and community involvement in tourism development. Sustainable tourism can take various forms such as ecotourism, cultural tourism, adventure tourism, and rural tourism. The principles of sustainable tourism include minimizing the carbon footprint of travel, supporting local economies, promoting environmental awareness, and fostering cultural exchange. Sustainable tourism is increasingly important as travelers become more aware of their impact on the places they visit and seek out more responsible and authentic experiences.
