The Lanzarote Charter for Sustainable Tourism was proclaimed on the occasion of the First World Conference on Sustainable Tourism, held in Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain) on 27-28 April 1995, and organized by UNESCO, UNWTO, UNEP and UN-DESA, among other institutions. The Conference was pioneering in the launch of the sustainability concept for tourism, and created a solid foundation for later work on this field.
This special issue of Pasos covers many of the concerns over sustainability in tourism raised over the past years, two decades after the Charter, while looking forward to the challenges and inner beauty of tourism within a future Green Global Society.
