NATURAL HERITAGE & BIODIVERSITY

2026-03-09T09:22:08Z

The Role of Tourism Stakeholders

The actions of many players influence the impact of tourism on natural heritage and biodiversity and vice versa. In general natural heritage assets can be viewed as public goods with collective value. Many areas are owned and managed by public bodies, but some are in private ownership. Tourism enterprises benefit commercially from visitors’ enjoyment of intact landscapes and natural sites while also providing essential services for nature based tourism. Therefore it is essential that public and private stakeholders and local community and conservation interests work together on the management of heritage areas, sites and themes and on how they are developed and promoted as resources for sustainable tourism.

GOOD GOVERNANCE & CSR

The Role of Tourism Stakeholders

There are now many administrations, businesses and NGOs who have provided methodologies implementing corporate social responsibility reporting systems, whilst government administrations should be aiming to implement the principles of good governance, the issue of Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (CS&ER) has been used mainly to regulate (through either voluntary or mandatory measures) how businesses conduct themselves, particularly via implementation of sustainable supply chain management and adaptation of environmentally – and socially – responsible value systems.

The Role of Tourism Stakeholders

There is a need to improve the (resource) efficiency and impacts of tourism activities, avoiding damage to habitats, minimizing pollution and waste, and conserving precious resources such as water and certain forms of energy, taking every opportunity to innovate as we adapt and mitigate, for example using renewable energy, green technologies and efficient product life-cycle planning processes.

TRAVEL, TRANSPORT & MOBILITY

2021-06-26T07:37:38Z

Administrator: Heike Dickhut/HNE Eberswalde, Heike.Dickhut@hnee.de

The Role of Tourism Stakeholders

The topic of “sustainable mobility” has continuously found its way to the agendas of tourism and political conferences alike. On various levels, from the local to the global, strategies for sustainable mobility and the introduction of e-mobility have been formulated and are on the way to be implemented successfully. Rapid innovation is taking place among vehicle manufacturers and destinations and businesses are making soft mobility offers a major part of a completely new tourist experience.

As means of transport concern all areas of the tourism supply chain (i.e. arrival and departure, local transport, accommodation, gastronomy, leisure activities, etc.), a sustainable transport system needs to be embedded in an integrated tourism strategy to be successfully implemented.

Experience shows that the development of sustainable mobility requires a multi-stakeholder approach. Collaboration between politics, the local community, NGOs, experts, destinations, businesses and travelers is essential for making sustainable transport a success – by adapting it to stakeholders' interests and making information available for everyone.

The Role of Tourism Stakeholders

The essence of value chain management and fair trade is to influence regular business contracting processes to align with the need to address socio-economic inequality, stem the loss of both local produce and biodiversity, support cultural diversity and to take account of sustainability through three important steps: establishing a sustainable supply chain policy and management system; supporting suppliers in reaching sustainability goals; and integrating sustainability criteria into suppliers’ contracts.

HUMAN RIGHTS & LABOUR RIGHTS

The Role of Tourism Stakeholders

In June 2011, the United Nations Human Rights Council unanimously endorsed the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. These provide the internationally agreed reference framework for economy, justice, politics and civil society, specifying corporate responsibility to respect human rights wherever businesses operate in the world. Sustainable tourism can be an efficient tool for the economic development and poverty reduction. And human rights & labour rights include many important principles which should be given equal attention throughout many other aspects, in accordance with international law.
