02 Dec The 5 Ps of Sustainable Tourism

Sustainable tourism management incorporates a wide range of tasks – from environmental performance management to regulations supporting social justice. The Global Sustainable Tourism Council organizes their criteria into 4 categories – sustainable management, socio-economic sustainability, cultural sustainability, and environmental sustainability. In a recent analysis of the GSTC Destination criteria, undergraduate researcher, Jennifer Romanchek, and I examined the criteria from a different perspective.  We categorized the criteria as:

• People and Teamwork
• Planning for Sustainable Tourism in Destinations
• Policy Framework for Sustainable Tourism
• Programs in the Destination that support Sustainable Tourism
• Performance Management to achieve sustainable tourism.
