Given that pollution has long-term effects on the entire world,each of us should adopt sustainable solutions, even when it comes to travel. Although not everything depends on tourism, tourism depends on almost everything. Sustainable tourism is about re-focusing and adapting.Tourism accounts for 5% of global emissions: 4% is attributed to transportation, close to 1% to the accommodation sector and a small other amount to other tourism activities.
As the tourism industry expands, so is its impact on the environment.
A lot of water is wasted in luxury hotels and the areas where they are placed probably do not have a waste recycling system set up.
So sustainable tourism is an important thing for us and to help eradicate it we need to go to places that use products that are grown there,use non-polluting means of transport and save water from accommodation.
