Issues such as climate change, health and resource depletion can affect a company’s name. Come let’s start discussing these issues.

1. Carbon and other emissions:

Well, tourism agencies are not directly and highly involved in carbon emissions to environment. But a report shows that the increased demand of airlines because of tourism has caused a huge increase in carbon emission. The huge international airlines with large air traffic has increased footprints of carbon. This increased burden can also affect profitability by doing recycling of grease and cruise ship exhausts.

2. Water waste and energy consumption:

One of the important research on tourism sector showed that the number of ratings in star of hotels is directly proportional to the amount of heat and electricity used in their rooms. So when there is a huge amount of people going for tourism then this also cause an increase in the maximum hotel room consumption and as a result there is an increase in water and energy consumption. Investors of tourism should consider these issues seriously for the environment. They should implement a plan to keep an eye on electricity and water consumption during hotels stay of tourism or travel.

So there should be some business partnership between tourism investors and local governments so that the tax and profit can be used for locals of those countries.

5. Working conditions:

Every year it gives employment opportunities to many people but with its jobs there are several working conditions which makes other people restricted from doing any other part time job. The skilled workers are bound to it as it requires different contracts or employment working conditions. It might help people but some other companies may suffer from a qualified skilled person. So investors should consider this issue by making a friendly policy for workers.

6. Hotel networking values and franchising:

The business of hoteling is getting trending. The hotels may demand new staff in place of old staff and this can effect many hotel employees so this should not be shown to customers of tourism. Investors of tourism should also focus on this point.
