Identifying the Universal Perspectives of Tourism and Water Conservation Issues

Abstract

The potential of tourism can't be questioned, and few decades have seen a rise in tourist activities globally. Yet, the management of tourism in present times is questionable and, due to the poor governance and apathy, has raised the water usage at the destination a debatable issue. Water is considered to be a life source and sometimes quoted as the next chief reason that could bring countries to standoff in times to come. This chapter tries to establish the importance of water conservation and its linkage with tourism, in the present circumstances where survival for many countries due to lack of water has been becoming complex. A review of earlier studies has been taken into consideration, and a model to assist tourism practices to continue while protecting the natural resources has been suggested. This study can further be extended to develop policies for the inclusion of practices that do not threaten water resources, but instead assist in the conservation of it.
