             The SDGs recognise that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies
             that build economic growth and address a range of social needs, including
             education, health, social protection, and job opportunities while tackling climate
             change and environmental protection.

Sustainable Tourism (also known as Responsible Tourism)

             environment and host communities.

             Achieving sustainable tourism requires wide participation and consensus
             building through strong political leadership and the informed participation of all
             interested parties.

             Sustainable tourism practices can be applied across all parts of the tourism
             system, from destinations to individual businesses.

             For the Noosa Destination Management Plan this is about “minimising harm to
             the natural, cultural, social and economic systems”. Noosa is already committed
             to this standard.
