.The UN Green Economy Report demonstrates that the
greening of economies is not a constraint on growth, but rather
a new engine of development, able to create decent jobs,
reduce poverty and address major environmental challenges.
Tourism, finds the Report, is one of the ten economic
sectors best able to kick-start the transition to a
sustainable and inclusive green economy.
“Making tourism businesses more sustainable will foster the
industry’s growth, create more and better jobs, consolidate
higher investment returns, benefit local development and
contribute to poverty reduction, while raising awareness and
support for the sustainable use of natural resources.” Tourism
