Measuring environmental impacts of tourism


The environmental indicator factsheet outlines a suite of indicators that are available for you to use if you would like to measure the environmental impacts of tourism in your region. For tourism to be sustainable, it is most effective if its development is in line with the needs of the environment. Implementation of the environmental indicators identified will help provide an understanding of the impact that tourism is having on the environment. This information can act as a catalyst for change and a more sustainable approach to the use of the natural environment and resources.
