3SUSTAINABLE HOTEL ENVIRONMENT
Introduction
The present tourism and hotel industry depends on a diverse and ironic, built and
natural environment for its economic interest and safety. The development of tourism that is
constantly ignoring the environmental concerns is doubtful to remain viable for longer period
of time (Leslie 2016). Along with the other industrial sectors as well as the field of academic
study, the tourism industry, too have responded towards the popularity of the concept of
sustainable development in the developing world. Globally, the tourism industry is growing
significantly from the past half century and it is expected that it would grow further at an
average annual rate of 4.3% until the year 2020. It is also to note that the very recent global
recession as well could not case this industry to grind a complete halt. The nature of the
development of tourism in every area is affected by a wide range of the planned and existing
development like the transport, the housing, health service provision, retailing etc. However,
this report is going to elaborate on explaining my viewpoint in for of the statement- “Given
environmental concerns, tourism in the developing world is unsustainable.” It shall explain
the future of the tourism and why it is likely to be unsustainable in this developing world.
Discussion
Concept of Sustainable development
Sustainable development is one of the most discussed topics in recent years. There are
a total of two different components in the definition of sustainable development and they are-
1) the meaning of development and, 2) the condition that is needed for sustainability. As per
Flynn et al. (2016), the sustainable development depicts the procedure which makes an effort
in order to enhance the living style and conditions of the individuals. The main vitality of the
sustainable development is carrying the growing successes into the future in such a manner
that the upcoming generations are not troubles in any way.
