CHAPTER 6 - EXERCISE 2

SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION

State the twelve (12) main goals for sustainable tourism. And site situation wherein these goals
are attainable and sustainable.

1. Economic Viability- Designers need to consider how the costs of materials, manufacturing
processes, scale of production and labor contribute to the retail cost of a product. Strategies for
minimizing these costs at the design stage are most effective to ensure that a product is
affordable and can gain a financial return. The economic viability of a product is paramount for
designers if they are to get their product into production. Understanding how to design a product
to specification, at lowest cost and to the appropriate quality while giving added value, can
determine the relationship between what a product is worth and how much it costs.

2. Local Prosperity- supporting locally owned businesses and promoting the purchasing of
local products. This means strengthening the whole retailing process as well as the quality, price,
distribution and display of local products such as food, drink and handicrafts. Using local
products can greatly enhance the authenticity of the tourist offer and the multiplier effect of
tourism in local economies. Achieving a consistent supply of high quality local goods can be a
challenge, but is necessary to reduce the need for imported goods and thus reduce leakages. This
can be facilitated by the creation of wholesale markets or consortia.

3. Employment Quality- investments in skill development and vocational training, and

reinforced by occupational development and opportunities for promotion and advancement. A
high quality, loyal labor force is a great asset to an enterprise and to the reputation of a
destination. High priority should be given to the creation of jobs that are stable, permanent and
full-time, and that provide fair salaries and benefits. Good employment practice goes beyond
these core standards, promoting economic and social welfare, and leading to the improvement of
living standards and the satisfaction of basic.

4. Social Equity- developing countries, indigenous and traditional communities can be said to be
historically disadvantaged, and there is often a need to improve the position of women and the
income earning options open to them. Social equity is also an issue in developed countries, an
example being the need to provide opportunities for unemployed urban youth. Supporting the
development of enterprises by disadvantaged people they can often gain access to visitors and
seek to earn income from them through activities such as street trading, personal guiding services
or providing simple accommodation. Investment in tourism in a destination area can result in the
provision of additional services, such as water, electricity and health care, which can be of
particular benefit to disadvantaged communities.

5. Visitor Fulfillment- The great recreational and educational benefits brought by tourism
should be respected and made as widely available as possible without discrimination. This
implies viewing visitor satisfaction and fulfillment as an aim in its own right, rather than simply
as a means to economic benefit. It is also about the responsibilities that destinations have towards
the wellbeing of their guests. Improving access for all means ensuring that tourism facilities and
infrastructure are accessible and usable by everyone. Good physical access can also benefit other
categories, such as families with small children. Issues to address include the design and layout
of buildings and sites, access to public transport, and the provision of effective information to
such groups.

6. Local Control- Giving people responsibility and control over their lives is a fundamental
principle of sustainable development. Tourism projects that engage local communities directly in
their planning and implementation are much more likely to be successful in delivering local
benefits and to be sustained over time. Empowering communities to influence decisions about
the developments and activities that will affect their future while enabling the needs of other
legitimate interests to be taken into account.

7. Community Wellbeing- Tourism can impact the social wellbeing of communities, as well as
providing jobs, the additional investment and spending brought by tourism can support a wide
variety of amenities that add to the quality of local people’s lives. These include essential
services such as water and energy, roads and transport services, health services, shops, garages,
leisure and entertainment facilities, and outdoor amenities. Maintaining an optimum number of
visitors. This can be done by keeping abreast of community reactions and using appropriate
indicators such as volume of visits, traffic counts, number of complaints from local people, level
of litter.

8. Cultural Richness- Respect for, and understanding of, cultural diversity between nations and
peoples is a key principle of sustainable development. Tourism can be a considerable force for
the conservation of historic and cultural heritage and can stimulate arts, crafts and other creative
activities within communities. Providing a source of income based around local culture, tourism
can encourage communities to value their cultural heritage more highly. However, it is important
to guard against the falsification and degradation of culture and heritage in the way they are
promoted to tourists.
9. Physical Integrity- It is an important aim intrinsically from the environmental perspective, as
well as affecting the wellbeing of local people. It is also critically important for the long term
health of the tourism industry as the physical attractiveness of destinations is a key element of
their appeal to visitors. Land and coastal erosion are particular areas of concern where physical
degradation is concerned. They may be caused, for example, by changes in vegetation cover or
by marine infrastructure affecting long shore currents. There should be equal concern for the
integrity and aesthetic quality of built as well as natural environments in rural and urban areas.

10. Biological Diversity- All ecosystems, whether mountains, deserts, rainforests, wetlands or
inland waters, have their own special sensitivities which need to be considered when planning
for tourism activities. Protection of biodiversity is closely related to the maintenance of physical
integrity. As with physical integrity, preventing destruction of biodiversity not only by tourism
itself but also by other activities can be very important in maintaining the visitor appeal of many
rural destinations.

11. Resource Efficiency- Resources that are non-renewable, in limited supply, or essential for
life support are of particular concern. These include land, fresh water, forests, minerals and fossil
fuels. Conservation of energy is important, especially where it is derived from non-renewable
resources. Ensuring that it uses resources efficiently is important both for the wellbeing of the
local environment and host community and in maintaining global resources. Efficient use of
resources, notably energy derived from fossil fuels, is also important in the reduction of polluting
emissions. Enterprises should be encouraged to establish environmental management systems to
minimize impacts and drive a process of continual improvement.

12. Environmental Purity- Governments need to recognize the responsibilities towards both the
global and the local environment that are inherent in maintaining environmental purity. There is
a need for a profound change in the way we generate and use energy and in other activities that
release greenhouse and other gases into the atmosphere. Global pollution may also impact many
local destinations through the consequences of climate change. As with promoting resource
efficiency, waste and pollution control will be achieved largely by changing the consumption
patterns of tourists and tourism enterprises. This should be a key component of individual
environmental management systems within enterprises.
