Large hotels and theme parks belong to those kinds of tourist activities where soft strategies of
sustainable tourism development could be applied, emphasizing the development component considering
that they are under the platform for tourism support.
This approach is in strong contrast to the strategies of sustainable tourism for which Hunter believes
that are applicable for relatively intact natural and cultural environment where even a small increase in
tourist activity can result in unacceptable social and cultural damage to the natural environment.
Accordingly, the precautionary principle or the idea that any action should be avoided if the consequences
are unknown highlights the sustained component of sustainable development and which is compatible
with the basic platform of adaptation and caution. In some extreme cases, it would mean forbidding all of
the tourist activities in some areas. In areas where development of tourism is allowed some alternative
options, such as the small scale ecotourism, is usually preferred.d
The indicators of sustainable tourism are variables that could be measured and monitored for detecting
the changing status of a particular phenomenon, and represent tools for gathering new information
through which existing information can be filtered. This new body of compressed necessary information
facilitates the identification of trends and threats and allows for undertaking the appropriate actions.
