The three pillars of sustainable tourism are employing environmentally friendly practices (reduce, reuse, recycle); protecting cultural and natural heritage (restoring historic buildings or saving endangered species); and providing tangible social and economic benefits for local communities.

Watch the video on hotels practicing sustainability and note down their sustainable practices. Write a one-page reflective journal answering the following questions:

1. Why do we need to follow the environmental laws implemented by the government?

2. In your opinion, what are the top three environmental laws that you think are the most essential?

3. Can you cite at least 5 best practices that can make tourism and hospitality more sustainable. Explain the impacts of these practices.
