It’s specified in UN documents that tourism sector can especially contribute to No. 8, 12, and 14 of SDGs, however UNWTO believes that tourism can contribute to all of the goals of SDGs. In order to further engage in sustainable development of tourism, UNWTO has established a platform in which global tourism efforts for SDGs can be viewed, shared and promoted. UNWTO also issues reports related to tourism and SDGs.
Sustainable tourism should:
・Make optimal use of environmental resources that constitute a key element in tourism development, maintaining essential ecological processes and helping to conserve natural heritage and biodiversity.
・Respect the socio-cultural authenticity of host communities, conserve their built and living cultural heritage and traditional values, and contribute to inter-cultural understanding and tolerance.
・Ensure viable, long-term economic operations, providing socio-economic benefits to all stakeholders that are fairly distributed, including stable employment and income-earning opportunities and social services to host communities, and contributing to poverty alleviation.

As a fundamental frame of reference for responsible and sustainable tourism, the Global Code of Ethics for Tourism (GCET) is a comprehensive set of principles designed to guide key-players in tourism development. Addressed to governments, the travel industry, communities and tourists alike, it aims to help maximize the sector’s benefits while minimizing its potentially negative impact on the environment, cultural heritage and societies across the globe.
