Tourism plays a significant role in the economy of many regions, often leading to a focus on attracting tourists at any cost. However, some destinations are shifting towards sustainability, prioritizing environmental and community well-being.
In Bali, Indonesia, Potato Head has implemented waste-reduction initiatives, while Dominica's Coulibri Ridge focuses on sustainable power generation. These efforts are part of a broader trend where entire destinations aim for sustainable tourism to secure their economic and environmental future.
Dominica stands out as a model for sustainable tourism. Known as the "Nature Island," it is working towards becoming the first climate-resilient nation. The island collaborates with the Indigenous Kalinago people to enhance weather-monitoring systems and infrastructure resilience. "With input from Kalinago chief Sylvanie Burton," Dominica has developed sophisticated weather-monitoring systems and improved water storage practices.
