Social governance of tourism?

On the basis of a clear understanding, we should give play to and expand the social function of tourism, resist and eliminate its social ills, and make tourism develop in a healthy and civilized direction, instead of giving up food because of choking. In view of this understanding, many experts, scholars and related people think about the countermeasures and measures to deal with the social ills of tourism.

Since 1980, the World Tourism Organization (WTO) has set a theme for world tourism day every year. From one aspect, we can see the exertion of social functions of tourism and the governance of social ills of tourism.

China tourism not only determines a publicity theme every year, but also determines the corresponding publicity slogan. From these slogans, we can see China's determination to carry forward the social function of tourism and control its social ills.

We have seriously discussed the social impact of tourism and studied how to maximize its positive impact and reduce its negative impact.

We believe that tourism will continue to bring social and economic benefits to the country and the community, and tourism is not the only cause of social problems or related problems;

We are determined to eliminate the social ills caused by tourism or related activities.

We hereby guarantee that:

1. Support the community to actively participate in the formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of tourism policies and plans in line with national goals and priorities, and organize community publicity activities to make people understand the benefits of tourism development;

2. Provide people with opportunities to participate in economic and social activities extensively through tourism activities, thus improving people's living standards. If possible, we can develop tourism activities and destinations in remote areas to increase rural income;

3. Tourism development planning should ensure the heritage and integrity of tourist destinations, respect social and cultural norms, especially respect local inherent cultural traditions, and control the development speed of tourism in the case that tourism may damage local communities and social values;

4. Cooperate with tourism professionals, encourage them to establish a correct image for tourist destinations and carry out effective publicity, so that tourists can understand the culture of local society and their attitude towards tourists through education, information and exchange;

5. Recognize the role of human resources development in the tourism industry, formulate long-term plans conducive to absorbing local labor resources, and take appropriate measures to provide women and young people with extensive and active employment opportunities;

6. Promote and strengthen international coordination and supervision through contacts and exchanges between the government, private institutions and relevant parties, so as to publicize the positive impact of tourism and eliminate its negative impact;

7. Further mobilize local and international forces to eliminate and control tourism-related ills and exploitation of people, especially women, children and other vulnerable groups;

8. Encourage governments to enact domestic and foreign laws, strengthen law enforcement, take actions through agreements, deny criminals hiding places, and eliminate adverse social impacts in the process of tourism;

9. Understand the importance of tourism in Agenda 2 1 Century, because tourism is an important development mode. Tourism, like other industries, will consume resources and produce "garbage", which will not only affect society and culture, but also affect the environment during its development, among which the impact on biodiversity and fragile ecosystems (such as coral reefs, archaeological sites, mountains, coasts and warm places) has attracted people's attention.

10. Let's work together to formulate and finally adopt the "Global Code of Professional Ethics for Tourism".
