Responsible Tourism can be regarded as a behaviour. It is more than a form of tourism as it represents an approach to engaging with tourism, be that as a tourist, a business, locals at a destination or any other tourism stakeholder. It emphasises that all stakeholders are responsible for the kind of tourism they develop or engage in. Tourism should become ‘better’ as a result of the responsible tourism approach.

Within the notion of betterment resides the acknowledgement that conflicting interests need to be balanced. However, the objective is to create better places for people to live in and to visit. Importantly, there is no blueprint for responsible tourism: what is deemed responsible may differ depending on places and cultures. Responsible Tourism is an aspiration that can be realised in different ways in different originating markets and in the diverse destinations of the world.

Focusing in particular on businesses, according to the Cape Town Declaration on Responsible Tourism, it will have the following characteristics:

* minimises negative economic, environmental, and social impacts
* generates greater economic benefits for local people and enhances the well-being of host communities, improves working conditions and access to the industry
* involves local people in decisions that affect their lives and life chances
* makes positive contributions to the conservation of natural and cultural heritage, to the maintenance of the world’s diversity
*provides more enjoyable experiences for tourists through more meaningful connections with local people, and a greater understanding of local cultural, social and environmental issues * provides access for physically challenged people and is culturally sensitive, engenders respect between tourists and hosts, and builds local pride and confidence.
