The responsibility principles of the Eveil Network |
|
 |
 |
Environmental background |
|
|
 |
The renewal of the environmental and natural resources is necessary for the continuity of the tourism activity |
|
|
|
The fragility of the natural resources in the local territory requires measures of protection and prevention of over-exploitation in the tourism activity. |
|
|
|
The overexploitation of local carrying capacity can provoke important disorders on regional ecosystems |
|
|
|
Making the tourists acknowledge the wealth of the natural heritage in the local area enables to protect it on the long run
|
|
| |
|
Socio-cultural background |
|
|
|
The tourism activity must favor the quality of the habitat and local life along with the social relations of the host communities |
|
|
|
Promoting partnerships and sharing means and skills with other stakeholders will favor local integration and durability of the activity.
|
|
| |
|
Economy |
|
|
|
Shared benefits of the tourism activity can improve the economical level of the local working population |
|
|
|
The tourism activity stimulates the local economy and contribute to the overall development of the local area |
|
|
|
Diversification in the tourism activities can respond to the variations due to a change in the market demand or to the unpredictability of the natural resources or local conditions (weather, snow). |
|
|
|
Spreading out the tourism activities all along the year can decrease the negative effects of its seasonal character (insecure and temporary jobs, overexploitation) |
|
| |
|
Ethics |
|
|
|
A local control of the tourism activity requires a system of participative governance between the stakeholders |
|
|
|
Complete clarity and transparency in the management of the tourism activity enables a better visibility and credibility in the tourism practices |
|
|
|
A procedure of constant improvement enables to go ahead deliberately and gradually in the tourism practices |
