“Ukhenketho lelona shishini likhulu nelikhula ngokukhawuleza kulo mmandla, kwaye sicinga ukuba lixesha lokuba iPasifiki iqinisekise inkxaso yayo kwimigaqo ekuvunyelwene ngayo nezizwe ngezizwe,” yatsho ihlakani leOceania Sustainable Tourism Alliance (OSTA). U-Lelei LeLaulu we-OSTA uthe ukwamkelwa kwakhe njengelungu lenethiwekhi esemthethweni yentsebenziswano entsha ye-Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria (GSTC) "iya kusenza thina kwi-Pacific, kungekhona nje ukufunda kumandla obuchopho aqokelelweyo beli qela, kodwa kunye negalelo. ezinye zezifundo ezibalulekileyo esizifundileyo malunga nokhenketho oluzuzisa uluntu eOceania.”
Ukuzibophelela kukhenketho lokuxhamla kuluntu, i-OSTA yinethiwekhi eqokelela imibutho engekho phantsi kukarhulumente, iyunivesiti, kunye nemibutho yabucala yophuhliso lwamazwe ngamazwe ukuncedisa iindawo zokuyila kunye nokuphunyezwa kweendlela zokuthatha inxaxheba, ezintsha, ezidibeneyo, kunye nokhenketho olusekelwe kwiimarike ezikhuthaza ikamva elizinzileyo kubantu ngabanye. , uluntu lwasekuhlaleni, amashishini amancinci, kunye noluntu.
U-Rex Horoi, umlawuli olawulayo weSiseko sePeoples of the South Pacific International www.fspi.org.fj kunye neqabane elisungula i-OSTA, uthe i-Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria entsha ibaluleke kakhulu ekufezekiseni iinzuzo zoluntu kukhenketho kuMzantsi omkhulu. Ummandla wePasifiki. Ukhenketho oluzinzileyo lunokuqhubeka lube sisixhobo esiphambili sophuhliso lwezoqoqosho nentlalontle kwiZiqithi zePasifiki, ngonxibelelwano olunentsingiselo kwamanye amacandelo avelisayo, afana nezolimo kunye nemisebenzi yezandla.
I-GSTC Partnership yimanyano yemibutho engaphezu kwama-30 esebenza kunye ukuze
ukukhuthaza ukuqonda okwandileyo kwezenzo zokhenketho ezizinzileyo kunye nokwamkelwa kwemithetho-siseko yokhenketho ezinzileyo jikelele. www.sustainabletourismcriteria.org
Intsebenziswano, eyasungulwa yiRainforest Alliance, iZizwe eziManyeneyo
Inkqubo yokusiNgqongileyo (UNEP), iSiseko seZizwe eziManyeneyo, kunye ne
Umbutho woKhenketho weZizwe eziManyeneyo (UNWTO), yasungula iGlobal
Iikhrayitheriya zoKhenketho oluZinzileyo kwiNkongolo yeHlabathi yoLondolozo ngo-Okthobha wama-2008. Ezi nqobo zokukhetha zimele umgangatho ophantsi ukuba naliphi na ishishini lokhenketho kufuneka linqwenele ukufikelela kuwo ukuze kukhuselwe kwaye kugcinwe ubutyebi behlabathi bendalo kunye nenkcubeko ngelixa liqinisekisa ukuba ukhenketho luyahlangabezana namandla alo njengesixhobo sokuphelisa intlupheko. .
I-OSTA ngoku ijoyina amanye amaqabane e-GSTC kuquka ne-American Society of Travel
Iiarhente (ASTA), iZiko leNdawo eziZinzileyo kwiNational Geographic Society, i-Conde Naste Traveller, i-Conservation International, i-International Hotel kunye ne-Restaurant Association (IHRA), i-International Ecotourism Society (i-TIES) i-World Conservation Union (IUCN), i-Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), kunye neBhunga laMazwe ngaMazwe ngeZikhumbuzo kunye neeNdawo (ICOMOS)
"I-Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria iyingxenye yempendulo yoluntu lwezokhenketho kwimingeni yehlabathi yeZizwe eziManyeneyo zeMillennium Development Goals," kusho uKate Dodson, usekela-mlawuli we-Sustainable Development kwi-UN Foundation, eWashington DC. "Ubambiswano lwe-GSTC luyavuya ukwamkela i-OSTA njengothungelwano lwengingqi olunwenwela kwiziqithi zoMzantsi Pasifiki apho ukhenketho oluzinzileyo lubaluleke kakhulu kwikamva lezizwe ezincinci ezisakhulayo zeziqithi."
Iikhrayitheriya zenza inxalenye ebalulekileyo yempendulo yoluntu lwezokhenketho kwimingeni yehlabathi yeeNjongo zoPhuhliso lweMileniyam yeZizwe eziManyeneyo (MDGs). Ukupheliswa kwentlupheko kunye nokuzinza kokusingqongileyo - kuqukwa nokutshintsha kwemozulu - yeyona miba iphambili exananazileyo ethi iqwalaselwe ngokwemigaqo. Iikhrayitheriya zicwangciswe ngokwemixholo emine ephambili:
_ isicwangciso sozinzo olusebenzayo;
_ ukwandisa iinzuzo zentlalo nezoqoqosho kuluntu lwasekuhlaleni;
_ ukuphucula ilifa lenkcubeko; kwaye
_ ukunciphisa ifuthe elibi kokusingqongileyo.
Nangona iinqobo zokugweba ekuqaleni bezijoliswe ukuba zisetyenziswe licandelo leendawo zokuhlala kunye nezokhenketho, ziyasebenza kulo lonke ushishino lwezokhenketho.
