Due to the social, economic and technological changes propelled by the age of globalisation there has been a rapid development of tourism in the recent decades. This has ultimately led to an unprecedented growth in the number of visitors which has influenced our ideas of the touristic industry and its impact on the environment in particular. Moreover, it has revealed that the rapid tourism growth is often environmentally unbalanced and this situation calls for policy measures that would help the industry to maintain a proper balance between costs and benefits and implement a sustainable vision for the future of tourism.
Sustainable tourism is not to be considered as a separate type of tourism but rather as an umbrella term covering all types of tourism with view of the policy considerations that need to be put into practice in order to maintain a long-term balance between the benefits and the costs of tourism (OECD, 2020).
