Analysing sustainable coastal tourism

Analysing sustainable coastal tourism
The foremost important step in coastal sustainable management of the local costal regions by a government at each level, needs to be working in collaboration with he private organisations and investors, the government should establish selected coastal parts where future development will forever be restricted. Protecting these parts must be strictly enforced. In parts where development can be environmentally and socially justified, then tourism development ought to be built as a model of low-impact economical activity in relation to some other development option.

However McKercher (1993) observes that the viability of coastal sustainable tourism conception will depend on how well management objectives are defined and implemented for each specific coastal region. He further notes that these objectives must clearly select culturally/socially and ecologically areas and also high risk regions. Proper tourism activities must be selected for each particular are in accordance to the degree of sensitivity and the risk involved. More so education programs need to be established informing tourists of these management goals and objectives.
