Emerging from concepts of sustainable
development, as defined in the 1987 report of the
United
Nations World
Commission on
Environment and Development, Our Common
Future, the term may be applied to all forms of
tourism that are in harmony with their physical,
social and cultural environments in the long term.
Not confined to small-scale, as alternative
tourism, sustainable tourism development may be
viewed in terms of the Brundtland Report as
development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the activity of the future
generations to meet their own needs. The World
Tourism Organization (WTO) defines sustainable
tourism as a model form of economic
development that is designed to: improve the
quality of life of the host community, provide a
high quality of experience for the visitor, and
maintain the quality of the environment, on which
both the host community and the visitor depend.
A prearranged, prepaid journey to one or more
destinations that generally returns to the point of
origin, is usually arranged with an itinerary of
leisure activities, and includes at least two travel
elements.

Transfer

An establishment or group of establishments that

has been created or re-purposed with the aim of
attracting tourists and their money. The prices are
high to take advantage of the tourists who dont
know where else to go. Tourist traps are located
near the major hotels. Tourist traps will typically
provide services, entertainment, souvenirs and
other products for tourists to purchase.
While the term may have negative connotations
for some, such establishments may be viewed by
tourists as fun and interesting diversions.
Elements of the tourist product which attract
visitors and determine the choice to visit one place
rather than another. Basic distinctions are between
site attractions (e.g., climatic, scenic, historical)
when the place itself is the major inducement for a
visit and event attractions (e.g., festival, sporting
events, trade fairs) when the event staged is the
larger factor in the tourists choice than the site;
often the site and the event together combine to
determine the tourists choice. Another distinction
is between natural and man-made or built
attractions, as between beaches and heritages
towns.
Service for arriving and departing

ports, air, sea and rail terminals and hotels, or
