Sustainable Tourism Tokyo Declaration 2030 Vision

　Now, along with the environmental crisis, the Tourism Crisis is looming.  We must share this sense of urgency and take immediate action. Today on World Tourism Day, the second movement of our sustainability journey starts. 
We declare our commitment to realize a 2030 sustainable society. Over the next six years, we must work diligently to speed up and further strengthen our initiatives.
Our future will depend on how responsibly we conduct our own business. We believe in the power of tourism and make the most of it to bring happiness to travelers,  communities, the globe and as well as people engaged in the tourism industry.
Our future will be bleak if we don’t take any responsibility for those four key groups.  For example, having a short-term perspective, and pursuing our own interests and exploiting  local resources through irresponsible management. As a result, it causes various negative impacts on society, and the tourism industry loses further social credibility.
Our determination and responsibility are being questioned now. Each and every one of us pledges to work sustainably to envision what Japan should be in the future. It is hereby declared as the “Sustainable Tourism Tokyo Declaration 2030 Vision”.

1. Implement sustainable management in order to leave the beautiful land to future generations.
2. Strive to maximize the social and economic benefits of the local communities we visit and contribute to minimizing adverse effects.
3. Convey the charm of Japan’s cultural heritage and to minimize the negative influences on the society.
4. Contribute to environmental conservation and minimize negative impacts.
5. Aim for management that leads to the satisfaction of visitors and make efforts to expand the circle of the 2030 Vision to peers and stakeholders.
6. Spread this vision and take measures based on international standards and certification programs as effective means.
