Tourism, one of the rarest and most influential industries in the world, is already set up to lead the way in promoting triple bottom line business principles that have immeasurable positive benefits for the environment, societies and cultures. More than ever before, travelers are demanding lower environmental and cultural impacts, and more meaningful interaction with local people in their travel experiences. A company built on the principles of responsible tourism is not only setting itself up for long-term success, but also responding directly to current consumer demand, which has never before been so focused on sustainability. The unique partnership between local communities and tourism companies can help to solve one of the most prevalent problems in international community development: the lack of continued funding for follow-up business consulting and quality control maintenance. Integrating sustainability into this giant industry can improve long-term viability for businesses small and large, and provide a model for other large industries to make similar positive changes.
