The world of sustainable tourism is evolving and news are many. The latest comes from\u00a0the World Tourism Organization<\/strong> which, together with the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), has recently launched a new initiative called Measuring Sustainable Tourism<\/a><\/strong> (MST).<\/p>\n

\"World<\/p>\n

The aim\u00a0is to develop an international statistical framework<\/strong> to measure the role of tourism in sustainable<\/strong> development<\/strong>. The initiative wants to thus provide a common language<\/strong> and an organizational structure to use the extensive data already available on the subject.<\/p>\n

Such an initiative can further support the credibility<\/strong> and dissemination<\/strong> of measures<\/strong> and programs<\/strong> related to sustainable tourism.<\/p>\n

In 2008, the UN approved the statistical standards for measuring tourism and its economic contribution, in order to obtain important data as the direct contribution of the tourism sector in the national GDP<\/strong> and in order to compare these data between different countries. These important provisions, however, concern only the economic aspects of tourism, and does not consider the equally important environmental and social dimensions. This lack is filled by the Measuring Sustainable Tourism initiative\u00a0that will allow to obtain important information about the different environmental impacts<\/strong> of tourism (solid waste, wastewater, disruption of biodiversity), and about the dependency of tourism on the environment (eg need for water and energy) and about\u00a0socio-economic<\/strong> impacts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
