Ten Principles for Sustainable Destinations

The World Economic Forum has launched 'Ten Principles for Sustainable Destinations' to help policy-makers and businesses transition tourism from a driver of environmental impact to a vehicle for climate action and biodiversity conservation, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

• While tourism has historically driven economic development and job creation, it has negatively impacted biodiversity, the global climate crisis, and community-led environmental preservation.
• The World Economic Forum's Global Future Council on Sustainable Tourism created ten principles to assist destination management companies, businesses, and policy-makers in implementing behavior change and planning to restore destinations.
• The ten principles are designed to align with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to facilitate their integration into existing planning processes and initiatives.
