Introduction
The sustainability approach for tourism organizations should go beyond the implementation of sustainable
practices, connecting the results obtained with these practices with the impacts generated by the
organization.
Sustainability is directly related to the negative and positive impacts arising from tourism activities.
Organizations that want to be more sustainable should establish objectives to either minimize negative
impacts or maximize positive impacts, or both. Furthermore, sustainability has an integrated approach,
and organizations can contribute to other organizations (private or public) and destinations in terms of
sustainability.
Experience in other sectors of the economy shows that effective management depends on a consistent set of
indicators. Therefore, this document aims to serve as a source of consultation and guidance for organizations
that wish to measure sustainability management performance using indicators.
From this perspective, performance indicators, such as those presented in this document, are essential so
that tourism organizations can monitor the results obtained by planning and implementing actions related
to significant environmental, social, and economic impacts.
These indicators can be used by tourism organizations that seek to reduce their costs and, at the same time,
increase their profitability, putting into practice the concepts of a more sustainable management. This
management allows, in the environmental dimension:
— the achievement of greater energy efficiency;
— the optimization of the use of inputs, raw materials and water resources;
— a reduction of waste generation; and
— an increase in the awareness and motivation of employees regarding the preservation of the tourist
destination where the organization is located.
In the social dimension, such management engenders:
— better-trained employees;
— reduced turnover;
— improvements in the work environment;
— closer partnerships with suppliers and other related organizations;
— recognition; and
— improvement of the image and reputation, enhancing the destination through community development
and protection of its cultural values.
In the economic dimension, improving management provides greater financial health for the company,
allowing the development of strategies for greater profitability associated with the growth and development
of the business and satisfying the needs of tourists.
Organizations of all types in the tourism sector are increasingly concerned about achieving and
demonstrating effective performance in relation to sustainability, managing the impact of their activities,
products or services, and taking into account their sustainability policy and objectives.
This behaviour is part of the context of increasingly demanding legislation, the development of economic
and social policies, other measures aimed at encouraging the protection of the environment and cultural
heritage, and a growing concern among interested parties, in particular customers, in relation to quality
and environmental and sociocultural issues.

v
Using the methodologies outlined in this document, organizations can enhance their sustainability
performance, contribute to the conservation of destinations, and meet the growing demand for responsible
tourism practices.
Thus, adopting sustainability indicators as a mechanism to measure compliance with sustainability
objectives is an effective way to monitor business performance and ensure that the organization's strategy
is working.

4 Approach for indicators of sustainable tourism
4.1 General
Experience in other sectors of the economy shows that effective management depends on a consistent set of
indicators. Therefore, this document aims to serve as a source of consultation and guidance for organizations
that wish to measure sustainability management performance using indicators.
Indicators should be used and adopted in close accordance with:
— the sustainability objectives established by the organization,
— the Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) established by United Nations (UN), and
— environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria and reporting, if applicable.
Considering these aspects, indicators shall be defined for the three dimensions of sustainability
(environmental, socio-cultural and economic). The proposed indicators can be considered as the basis for
each organization. Thus, it will be possible for certain organizations to use indicators other than those
proposed in this document.
Indicators shall be clear, understandable, measurable, comparable, repeatable and reliable.
The implementation of the indicators has a direct relationship with the governance of the organization and
the destination; therefore, it should be considered as a success factor for sustainable development.
NOTE In this document, most indicators are quantitative.

4.2 Sustainable tourism strategy
Considering that an organization’s performance in terms of sustainability is related to how each organization
manages the impacts generated in their operations and across its value chain, it is expected that performance
can potentially be improved with the adoption of sustainability as part of the business strategy.
When sustainability is part of a business strategy the organization objectives and sustainability objectives
become part of the same set.
Thus, the adoption of sustainability indicators as a mechanism to measure conformity to sustainability
objectives is an effective way to monitor business performance and to ensure that an organization's strategy
is working.
4.3 Sustainable tourism measuring
Sustainability is directly related to the negative and positive impacts generated by tourism activities. Those
organizations that want to be more sustainable should establish objectives to minimize the negative impact
or maximize the positive impact for which they are responsible.
In this context, there exists a close relationship between activities, aspects, impacts, objectives, sustainable
practices and indicators as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 — Logic of sustainability management performance using indicators
Interested parties should be consulted when objectives and indicators are being defined.
Adopting a set of standard indicators could be useful to establish a process of benchmarking, to cocreate a
common strategy and to share results between organizations and their interested parties.
4.4 Selection of indicators
This document contains a set of indicators that shall be chosen in accordance with the needs of each
organization. A process of selection shall be established based on criteria that allows an organization to use
indicators as a tool for monitoring its performance in terms of sustainability.
Working with a very large number of indicators generally results in an ineffective system, as it is challenging
to manage a large number of independent variables at the same time.
When an organization defines criteria for selecting indicators, it should take into account the following,
when applicable:
a) the SDGs;
b) strategy and policies;
c) objectives of sustainability;
d) sustainability aspects and impacts on sustainability;
e) needs and expectations of interested parties;
f) legal requirements and compliance obligations;
g) available resources.
It is recommended that organizations select indicators from all dimensions of sustainability (environmental,
social and economic).
4.5 Use of indicators
The organization shall consider a baseline period of time to establish a reference for setting and periodically
monitoring the performance of sustainability. The indicators selected shall be calculated for periods of time
(baseline and nowadays) which allow for comparison of the results under the same conditions.
EXAMPLE 1 January 2021 and January 2022.
EXAMPLE 2 2020 and 2021 (for annual periodicity).
The organization can decide if the time period is different from the proposed frequency and should justify
its decision.
5 Indicators related to the environmental dimension
5.1 General
The organization shall adopt indicators related to the main aspects and environmental impacts of tourism
activities. Examples of such indicators are shown in Tables 1 to 24.
5.2 Water
Table 1 — Consumption of water/person
Purpose The water/person consumption indicator is based on the environmental impact generated
by the organization in the use and consumption of water.

cost of organization, but also with the social dimension, due to the potential impact of reducing
the availability of this resource to the community.
Calculation Monthly.
frequency
Calculation formula The total water consumption per capita [litres (l) or metres cubed (m )/person] shall be cal-
culated as the total volume of the organization’s water consumption in the period (numerator)
divided by the total number of persons (denominator). The result shall be expressed as the total
water consumption per capita in litres or m /person.
Counting rules The total volume of water consumed in the month shall be calculated. If the organization handles
its own funding, this should be accounted for in the calculation of the indicator.
