The social indicator factsheet outlines a suite of indicators RTOs, LTOs, Local Government and anyone else who is interested can use to measure the social impacts of tourism in a region. For tourism to be sustainable, it is most effective if its development is in line with the needs of the local community. Implementation of the social indicators will help provide an understanding of the impact that tourism is having on a community. This information can aid decision making on what directions and actions are best taken to address community perceptions in view of tourism.
