3 Sustainable Tourism: The Key to a Bright Future When travelers envision the ideal vacation spot, they may picture dappled sunlight filtering through a vine-laden tropical forest, pulsating with the raucous calls of toucans and howler monkeys; or a white-sand beach alive with sea turtle hatchlings wobbling their way across the sand to the warm waters of the ocean. Whatever their image of an ideal retreat, its future depends on a responsible tourism industry that is committed to protecting the environment and the well-being of local cultures and helping the people who live in and near these destinations derive economic benefits from the tourists they host. one that is environmentally friendly, culturally aware and economically advantageous to local communities and tourism businesses. Through our sustainable tourism program, we help companies assess the impact of their activities and implement socially and environmentally responsible practices as well as educating consumers about how their travel choices can reward those businesses that are sustainably managed. To ensure that these idyllic locations survive in reality, and not just in the minds of millions of intrepid travelers, the Rainforest Alliance works with hotels, tour operators and other important members of the tourism industry to create a sustainable future, 2 5

While the tourism industry has contributed to the problems plaguing these locations through pollution, habitat destruction and the displacement of wildlife and local people it can also be part of the solution, by providing incentives for conservation and community development.
