Here are some ideas they offer from the writings of tourism specialists. Work to develop and promote tourism based on agriculture, heritage, nature, ecology, festivals and outdoor recreation. Focus the community on authenticity in the tourism product. Make every effort to preserve the authentic aspects of local heritage and culture, including crafts, art, music, language, architecture, traditions, history.
Sustainable tourism emphasizes the real over the artificial.
Recognize that tourism has limits. Tourism development that exceeds the caring capacity of the ecosystem or fails to respect the community's sense of place, will result in resentment and the eventual destruction of the very product at 4. Consider land use management and planning. Ultimately, municipalities must establish the limits and path of growth through land planning and zoning issues. Work to insure that tourist supported facilities, hotels, restaurants and shops are architecturally and environmentally compatible with their surroundings.
