Critique on the critical concept of sustainable tourism
GRREN TOURIST
Has different shades of green tourism
Little evidence that tourist are practicing green tourism
Tourist has to differentiate between green tourism and sustainable tourism as it is two different definition
VISITOR MANAGEMENT
The current visitor management is helping to reduce visitors at a destination. This VM principle should be implemented at any destination not only endangered or critical destination.
By doing so ,any destination can be maintain regularly instead of having it maintain often.
ECOTOURISM
Ecotourists could volunteer at the destination, the example they can learn to take care of the environment and learn more about the native ecosystem.
Should implement a harsher rule sand regulation, however, despite the rules and regulation the ecotourists still can enjoy their stay or visit at the destination
CARRYING CAPACITY
Since each destination has different geography, ecosystem, social structure, and economy there should be solutions on how carrying capacity can be implemented and not follow only one type of CC
Thus by implementing CC, only then sustainable tourism can be achieved. However, they also need to find practical ways to help all problems faced by CC
DE-MARKETING
1.Promotion has been done too much resulting in-over crowding at a destination
De-marketing is a good step to less en-over crowding.However, another step that can be implemented is raising the prices which should be mentioned in the marketing process
PRIVATE VS. PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Tourist prefer private since it's easy and can fit to their schedule, however, public needs to stick to the operator's schedule.
Government could campaign intensely how using public transport could save the environment and how damaging is using a private car
Long term with the same environment > Short term with buildings and dying nature
Government also could apply any incentive to those who uses public, such as free 5 rides
TOURIST EDUCATION
Tourists don't understand what is sustainable tourism is, therefore it is only right to enlighten them on it. Besides, industry key players should make a guideline that the tourist could follow and easy to find,
Since it's not an easy message to sell, we could implement it in the tourist's mind when they are flying to the destination. They could be told or taught about sustainability at the airport or simply at the hotels they are residing during the visit.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND LOCAL CONTROL
Community involvement in tourism planning should have been implemented long time. Especially when it comes with sustainable tourism, due to the fact that it is their home and they should have the right to decide on what is what
However, in community involvement there should be unity. Without agreeing on one, they would not be able to achieve sustainable and fight on what they want
Local controls is another step all sustainable tourism destination should implement or adapt. With control, the locals get to decide on the growth of tourism at the destination.
