Abstract
The competitiveness of tourism products and tourist destinations heavily rely on natural and social resources. Thus, the industry’s interest in ensuring a harmonious relationship between the natural and human world while protecting the world’s finite resources is indisputable. This is also reflected in the definition of sustainable tourism by United Nations Environment Programm (UNEP) and the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO):
Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities (UNEP & UNWTO, 2005).
