Three Dimensions of Sustainable Tourism

11
Environmental Dimension
To many people, sustainability is about the environment,
primarily the natural, physical environment, and its
protection.
• The Natural Resources.
• The Natural Environment
• The Farmed Environment
• Wildlife
• The Build Environment

12
Economic Dimension
The economic dimension is often given relatively scant attention compared
to the environmental issues. Tourism is an economic phenomenon
because:

• It is a major industry and foreign currency earner.

• It is the basis of the growth of many transnational corporations.
• It accounts for a significant proportion of the annual disposable
income.

13
Economic Costs of Tourism
There are many economic benefits of tourism as well as costs. Economic costs of
the tourism are following as:

• Many jobs are low paid and seasonal.

• Opportunity costs.
• Congestion.
• The need to invest in expensive infrastructure which may only be
required for part of the year.
• Over-dependence on tourism makes the host economy
vulnerable.

14
Social Dimension
The social dimension of tourism has been given less
attention in the sustainable tourism debates, than the
environmental impacts of tourism. This is because the
socio-cultural impacts of tourism usually occur slowly over
time in an unspectacular fashion. They are also largely
invisible and intangible.
