TOURISM AND TRAVEL: ISSUES: Tourism Policy Statements
Tourism brings issues, concerns, challenges and changes to the
areas that are frequented by tourists. Issues exist or develop that
require attention and solutions. Tourism policy statements may be
a good resource for learning the kinds of developments and issues
that are and need to be addressed by communities that have or
are developing a large tourist traffic. This post provides a selection
of Tourist Policy Statement document links. This post also includes
a sampling of resources about tourism policy on the internet.

Karnataka was among the first States in the country to bring out a
progressive Tourism Policy as early as June 1992. This had
the twin objective of promoting tourism-related activities and enhancing
employment and income-generation among all sections
of the society to further promote tourism in the State. The Government
announced an updated tourism policy with effect from
June 1997 for a period of five years with certain
modifications vide Government Order No. ITY/137/TTM/96 Bangalore dated 4
July 1997.

The Southeast Tourism Policy Council
<http://southeasttourism.org/stpc.htm>
"A group of tourism industry leaders from across the 11-state Southeast
region is spearheading creation of a tourism policy
council to address federal, state and private-sector tourism issues.
The Southeast Tourism Policy Council will be part of the 20-year-old
Southeast Tourism Society (STS), a broad-based
tourism marketing and education association headquartered in Atlanta.
A resolution to create the policy group capped the three-day Federal/State
Summit on Travel and Tourism conducted in
Louisville from Sept. 4-6. The summit, a first-time event in the
Southeast, was organized by STS. It attracted more than 400
people involved in tourism from state and federal agencies and from
private industry.
"Fundamental policy issues must be addressed in order for the tourism
industry to sustain itself and for our publicly owned lands
to remain appealing and available for future generations," said Bill
Hardman Jr., president of STS and a member of the steering
committee for the Southeast Tourism Policy Council. "Tourism is hugely
important to our region's economy and to our quality of
life."
The travel and tourism industry ranks as the first-, second- or
third-largest industry in every Southeastern state.
"The policies that guide the operation of the tourism industry and the
policies that guide the use and development of public lands
deserve thoughtful attention," said Helen Hill, chair of the STS board.
"Our vision is that the policy council will be a beacon that
leads to sound decisions by both business and government." "
