International Tourism Management Based on the Sustainable Development

Tourism is one of the most promising sectors of the economy, which is developing dynamically and contributes to improving the economic well-being of states. International tourism is a factor of economic growth, because due to the constant increase in the number of tourist destinations intensifies socio-economic progress (creation of new jobs, enterprises, growth of export revenues, infrastructure development). Before the pandemic, international tourism revenues on the world market showed higher growth rates than exports of goods, and thus the importance of responsibility to ensure effective management of tourist destinations in both developed and developing countries, which would minimize any side effects from tourism. International tourism management based on the sustainable development has become a global trend that needs to be ensured through the growth of qualitative rather than quantitative indicators. The principles of sustainable development provide the absolute consideration of current and future economic, social and environmental impacts from tourism, meeting the needs of visitors, industry, the environment and host communities. Guidelines and management methods based on sustainable development can be applied to all forms of tourism in all directions, from mass to various segments of niche tourism. The principles of sustainable development address the environmental, economic and socio-cultural aspects of tourism development, and an appropriate balance must be struck between these three dimensions to ensure its long-term sustainability. International tourism management based on sustainable development involves the optimal use of environmental resources, respect for the socio-cultural authenticity of the host communities, preservation of cultural heritage, traditional values, promotion of intercultural understanding and tolerance,and ensuring viable long-term economic activity, providing equitable socio-economic benefits to all stakeholders, including stable employment and income and social services for host communities, and helping to overcome poverty.
