Tourism is a global industry therefore good practices in sustainable tourism management at destinations tends to be applicable internationally this therefore means that it is possible to learn from the experience and development in the sustainable destination management taking place in any particular country and try to adapt the techniques to your culture. Sustainable tourism is tourism that allows the use of natural and cultural resources for gaining economic profit while at the same time guaranteeing that these resources are not deteriorated or destroyed. National governments tend to treat this from the point of view of policies and planning at the National, Regional and local levels. Effective management of a tourism destination cannot take place without forms of partnership between the actors concerned in marketing the products, those who produce them on the ground and those who are responsible for the local implementation of statutory planning and regulatory powers.
