Since Brundtland, sustainability has been an attractive idea in discourse because it represents a \u2018common language\u2019 through which environmentalists and economic developers frame environmentalist issues (Macnaghten & Urry 1998).<\/p>\n

Achieving sustainable tourism is a continuous process and it requires constant monitoring of impacts, introducing the necessary preventive and\/or corrective measures whenever necessary.<\/p>\n

Sustainable tourism should also maintain a high level of tourist satisfaction and ensure a meaningful experience to the tourists, raising their awareness about sustainability issues and promoting sustainable tourism practices amongst them. ” World Tourism Organization, 2004<\/p>\n
