Zusammenfassung:Tourism is one of the world's biggest industries. Responsible tourism is concerned with the effects of tourism on people, ecology, and communities, and seeks to ameliorate these impacts by providing tourism that benefits host communities, improves working conditions, involves the local community, promotes cultural heritage, and benefits the environment.
