Eco-Tourism ethics from UN

Something to learn from and to apply. Mount Abu is supposedly one of the richest municipalities in the State. And except for tourism it has no other industry to take care of. Then why so much lethargy and indifference??

The resolution on the Global Code of Ethics for Tourism recognized the need to promote the development of sustainable tourism and increase the benefits from tourism for host communities, while maintaining their cultural and environmental integrity and enhancing the protection of ecologically sensitive areas and natural heritages. Likewise, it recognized the need to promote the development of sustainable tourism and address the challenges of climate change and halt the loss of biodiversity.

We, in India need to learn more before calling ourselves developed or the fastest growing economy.
Preserve Nature, adopt a Tree.
