Day six started out with beans and rice, fried eggs and fried plantains for breakfast followed by out lecture by Carlos Chavarria, . The topic today was tourism from a global and Costa Rican aspect.

Sustainable Tourism: The development of sustainable tourism
must be seen as the balanced interaction between the use of
our natural and cultural resources, the improvement of the
quality of life among the local communities, and the economic
success of the industry, which also contributes to national
development. Sustainable tourism is not only a response to
demand, but also an imperative condition to successfully
compete now and in the future. (Definition of Sustainable
Tourism, CST, 1997)
Community Rural Tourism “Tourist experiences planned and
sustainably integrated to the rural environment and developed
by local organization for the benefit of the community.”

• The development of sustainable tourism must be seen as the balanced interac-on
between the use of our natural and cultural resources, the improvement of the
quality of life among the local communi-es, and the economic success of the

only a response to demand, but also an impera-ve condi-on to successfully compete

-
• Sustainability, as a model of development, seeks to meet the current demands of society without compromising the rights of future genera-ons to meet theirs. That is to say, the development of the country cannot be based on the unbalanced exploita-on of resources (natural, cultural, social, etc.) to meet the demands of society (food, housing, health, employment) because these are the only resources we have, and that future genera-ons have, to meet our and their own needs.
