Sustainable Approach and Practice on Environmental Management and Carbon Emission Reduction in the Tourism Industry

Abstract:

Sustainability is using resources in a way and at a rate that enables the current generation to meet their needs and desires without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs and desires. It is all about balance of environmental, economic and social benefit. Tourism industry has high reliance on natural and cultural assets and is vulnerable to climate change impacts. This paper introduces a holistic approach to environmental management and carbon emission reduction with practical application in the tourism industry by EarthCheck program. The approach which includes quantitative benchmarking and qualitative assessment is well implemented in a broad industry scale to help tourism business start their sustainable journey.
