17. Partnerships for the Goals

Due to its cross-sectoral nature, tourism has the ability to strengthen private/public partnerships and engage multiple stakeholders – international, national, regional and local – to work together to achieve the SDGs and other common goals. Public policy and innovative financing are at the core for achieving the 2030 Agenda.

AN EXAMPLE

Community-based tourism in particular – tourism in true partnership with the local community in ownership, development and benefits - sees visitors hosted by locals, offering the tourist a deep experiential, participatory, cross-cultural insight into local people, culture and environment.

It is committed to sustainable development through social enterprise, reducing the dependence on the aid industry and driving tourism-generated income to rural communities through partnership.
