Destination stewardship is an approach to tourism development in which local communities, governmental agencies, NGOs and the tourism industry are dedicated to taking a multi-stakeholder approach to maintaining the cultural, environmental, economic, and aesthetic integrity of their country, region, state, or town through sustainable policy and management frameworks.
Destination stewardship initiatives have the potential to stimulate the implementation of sustainable tourism development through an interdisciplinary, holistic and integrative approach. Unfortunately, a majority of these initiatives fail to achieve the desired outcomes because they lack the necessary resources, do not have long-term strategies for building capacity, and / or have no access to the growing market of conscientious consumers.
