Well the future for tourism lies in giving rights of tourism to the people who are living near by since centuries and protecting the forest and natural resources. In my view responsible tourism is the future of tourism .

Cape Town Declaration which defined Responsible Tourism as having the following characteristics:

1.minimises negative economic, environmental, and social impacts;
2.generates greater economic benefits for local people and enhances the well-being of host communities, improves working conditions and access to the industry;
3.involves local people in decisions that affect their lives and life chances;
4.makes positive contributions to the conservation of natural and cultural heritage, to the maintenance of the world's diversity;
5.provides more enjoyable experiences for tourists through more meaningful connections with local people, and a greater understanding of local cultural, social and environmental issues;
6.provides access for physically challenged people; and
is culturally sensitive, engenders respect between tourists and hosts, and builds local pride and confidence.
