Sustainable Community Planning in Tourism

All tourism activities need to be sustainable..Sustainable tourism ( is defined as tourism that respects both local people and traveller, cultural heritage and the environment.. it seeks to provide people with an exciting and educational holiday that is also benefit to the people of the host country..(UNESCO)

tourism can also cause its share of problem like other forms of development..such as social dislocation, loss of cultural heritage, economic dependence and ecological degradation..

sustainable community is one of the main aspect in order to produce a sustainable tourism..it can be created by ecological footprint concept..environmental indicator which is also used to determine sustainability in lifestyle..in addition, changes in lifestyle also can create a sustainable community..it is either anthropocentric or ecocentric..anthropocentric is a people who believe there is a solution to save a problem, just ignores about being sustainable..but ecocentric is a people who tend or behave sustainably..

the argument of Sustainable tourism is the concept is still novel, controversial and ill-defined..however for me, if we can behave in sustainable manner in a large scale, we can lead to sustainable life..
