“Sustainable Tourism generates economic and social benefits, but a badly managed tourism leads to the loss of local identity and values and gradually destroy natural resources through pollution and physical impacts. But on the other hand, tourism also brings benefits to the local communities. Therefore, we must strive to shift the balance toward the positive benefits that tourism can create for local communities, culture heritage and the environment, and to minimize its negative impacts."
