Tourism may be sustainable or self-destructed. Developing additional resources when they are used or destructed is sustainable development. When tourism causes production of long-lasting natural and cultural resources, enhanced host life quality, and endures business success. Diaz (1997) defines sustainable development as a conscious economic development that would involve “economic, social, and ecological factors in both living and non - living elements combined with the consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of human actions in the short and long term” (Diaz, 1997).
Yoder (1998) explores the interrelationship between eco-tourism, sustainable development and globalization. The three major aspects of this paper are the study of small tourism dependent Islands, study of ecosystem and biodiversity in Caribbean, Pacific and Indian oceans, explores the causes of tourism’s impact on socio-economic and environmental impacts. The authors, stress that there needs to be implementation of certain measures to sustain the biodiversity and ecosystem.
The study also explores those countries, which are highly, moderately or least tourism regions. In the last section article proposes the current challenges and guidelines to attain sustainability diamond while touring.
Tourism in small Islands suffer a lot in the hands of open tourism, trade and exports with lack of regenerating those resources, lack of diversification, scarcity of resources, inability of self-sustained growth due to low investment and low economic capital (Demas, 1965). In most places income generation is very low due to lack of basic services and high cost of living including transport costs, hotels and food costs. Therefore, such countries are most vulnerable for economic wreckage.
Sustainable development controls the unchecked destruction of biological resources and avoids negative effects of tourism. Every year, damage is done on large-scale to widely distributed resources, while others are disappearing gradually and have extinct from the nature...............
