(2) Is the idea of sustainability fundamentally compatible with the continued growth of the
tourism sector?
The vocabulary of sustainability has been formally adopted by conventional tourism-related
Corporations and organizations over the same time period and therefore it appears that the
tourism sectors engagement with sustainability is neither broad nor deep and a lack of
Breadth is apparent in the prominence of just a few corporations. Since it is only less
organizations who are associated with sustainability, then that brings out clear information that
the idea of sustainability fundamentally is not compatible with the continued growth of the
tourism sector.
(3) (a) Why do so few tourism-related businesses participate in environmental and social
certification schemes? (b) Should they be forced to do so?
Environmental certification and ecolabels represents controversial topics in tourism. Hotels and
tour operators use them in marketing, land management agencies in allocating operating permits,
Government agencies in promoting national interests, and ecotourism associations for education,
lobbying, and revenue generation. Ecolabels have recently attracted the attention of multilateral
tourism and multilateral environmental organizations alike. There are various tourism
certification programmes all over the world, some of them at national or regional level, and some
at international level, recognized by the most important tourism organizations. It is important to
know that such an accreditation is ensuring tourists, that the tourism products and services they
are buying are of good quality, professional and according to the sustainable development
