C. Implementing sustainability in tourism through multilateral environmental agreements

A number of multilateral environmental agreements have adopted guidelines that focus on tourism, in order to support their implementation where tourism is an important factor.

In addition to its dynamic growth, a further reason to pay particular attention to tourism within the context of environmental policy is the special two way relationship between the tourism industry and the environment.

In some places, local people derive income from ecosystem services, such as ecotourism or environmental protection, but this is not common.

Despite the decision to resume commercial whale hunting in 2006, the tourism sector is expanding, especially in ecotourism and whale watching.

The existing multilateral environmental agreements, although they are not specifically concerned with tourism, provide a framework through which tourism issues can be addressed in relation to environmental protection and conservation.

Objective 4 of the North West Pacific Action Plan (NOWPAP) also refers to tourism specifically, and tourism is also mentioned in decisions, recommendations and plans adopted by the Parties to various other multilateral environmental agreements.

More specifically, there are three main ways in which multilateral environmental agreements can address tourism issues

Discussions had also been held with tour operators in the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), who run a successful ecotourism and adventure tourism operation.

It is increasingly recognized that tourism and environmental impacts should be addressed not in isolation, but within the wider context of sustainable development, paying equal attention to environmental, social and economic sustainability.

This enables the regional coordination units and activity centres to adopt an integrated approach to specific regional problems such as pollution from tourism and the effects of tourism on biodiversity through practical projects.

The implementation of sustainability in tourism can also be supported through the effective implementation of multilateral environmental agreements, which aim to tackle environmental issues, and activities that could have transboundary environmental effects.

It is increasingly recognized that integrated planning of tourism development, linked to environmental management, can be most effective within clearly identified local destinations.

These principles aim to help Governments, the tourism industry and all stakeholders to assume proactive roles and implement a mix of management strategies to shape and guide the industry in an environmentally sustainable manner.
