Directing tourism growth toward local needs, interests, and limits can greatly enhance tourism’s value to the community and help create a sustainable industry. Many small communities have the skills and resources for successful tourism development. Creating a local tourism industry is not a daunting task, but making tourism really "fit" the community requires work. Creating a successful and sustainable tourism industry is like creating any successful and sustainable economic activity —it takes ______, ______ and _____

Availability of local public transportation (bus, trolley, cab, shuttle, train) and alternative transportation corridors (bicycle, pedestrian) can reduce auto congestion. n Poor access can make facilities inaccessible for motor coach or public transit.

Many of the most sought-after environments for tourism are also the most fragile. Extra effort to plan appropriate access and use of fragile environments helps insure their long-term viability and continued attractiveness for tourism.

Extra effort to plan appropriate access and use of fragile environments helps insure their long-term viability and continued attractiveness for tourism.

Slower development provides time for residents and leaders to reassess tourism growth and make changes that better serve the community. Rapid development can strain a community’s infrastructure and lead to serious resident dissatisfaction. Negative environmental impacts are also more likely.

Strong local economies give leaders more options in influencing tourism development to fit the community. n Strong community leaders and active planning can place tourism more appro- priately within the community's geography and can support suitable tourism projects while resisting inappropriate ones.

n A strong and active local culture combats tourism's tendency to change a community. n Active programs to educate tourists in local cultural practices (especially public taboos) help reduce conflicts. n Pride in culture influences tourists to honor local customs and adhere to cultural restrictions. 

Separation of active tourist areas from residential areas reduces conflict. n Shared commercial areas. A mix of resident-oriented and tourist-oriented businesses adds to the vibrancy of the retail area. Domination of tourist-oriented businesses pushes locals elsewhere and may create resentment. n Shared cultural or recreational amenities (parks, museums, plazas, beaches, gardens) can be more successful with tourism. n Tourist strips can clog streets and may restrict resident access to public resources, especially beaches and shorelines. n Gated or exclusionary tourist developments can create a class structure and local resentment.

Local involvement helps align tourism with the attitudes of the rest of the community. Local ownership and management of tourism businesses keep profits from leaving the community. In most cases, if tourism businesses are cooperative in responding to residents' concerns, the industry will have strong local support.

When the tourist population differs greatly in ethnic or racial origin or economic status from the local population, more consideration of resident concerns is needed to reduce the potential for resentment, social conflict, and crime. Careful planning and ongoing education can reduce points of conflict.

n Day trips have less economic impact. n Short (2-5 day) stays in a community maximize per-day economic impact for regional driving destinations, i.e., tourist spending is maximized, but the pace can be hectic. n Tourists who stay longer have wider range of needs and may spread the direct economic impact more broadly in the community. Seasonal visitors (1-6 months) may take more interest in non-tourism community matters. n Annual events can create a large economic impact in a short period.

Visitor interest and satisfaction in the community is a source of local pride. Seeing visitor interest makes local residents more appreciative of local resources that are often taken for granted. As tourism develops, local residents will enjoy more facilities and a greater range of choices. Tourism activities and events tend to make living in a place more interesting and exciting.

Tourism creates opportunities to develop new amenities and recreation facilities that would not otherwise be viable in a community. Tourist expectations can upgrade service by local shops, restaurants, and other commerce operators. Tourist traffic in a community creates an opportunity for upgraded fire, police, and medical protection that also benefits residents. Traditional services may be forced out or relocated due to competition with tourist interests. Supply shortages may occur, temporarily, seasonally, or chronically. Water, power, fuel, and other shortages may be experienced with increased pressure on the infrastructure.

People congregate in attractive places. Tourism often develops around specific locations and concentrates there, providing growth yet avoiding sprawl. Historic buildings and grounds, which might otherwise slowly deteriorate, have great appeal for tourism development and can often be renovated to suit the industry. As people congregate, congestion and crowding produces stress, annoyance, anger, and other negative attitudes. Hordes of visitors may impede local businesses, prevent residents from accomplishing normal activities, and compete for space. Tourism construction, especially hotels, may be inappropriate in scale and style with respect to other structures and the landscape.

Tourism increases employment opportunities. Additional jobs, ranging from low-wage entry-level to high-paying professional positions in management and technical fields, generate income and raise standards of living. Particularly in rural areas, the diversification created by tourism helps communities that are possibly dependent on only one industry. As tourism grows, additional opportunities are created for investment, development, and infrastructure spending. 

Areas with high-value natural resources, like oceans, lakes, waterfalls, mountains, unique flora and fauna, and great scenic beauty attract tourists and new residents (in-migrants) who seek emotional and spiritual connections with nature. Because these people value nature, selected natural environments are preserved, protected, and kept from further ecological decline. Lands that could be developed can generate income by accommodating the recreational activities of visitors. Tourist income often makes it possible to preserve and restore historic buildings and monuments. Improvements in the area’s appearance
