• Oslo Statement on Ecotourism, a result of the Global Ecotourism Conference 2007 published by The International Ecotourism Society in August 15, 2007. "GEC07 marked an important step forward in the global ecotourism community’s efforts to strengthen its voice, and to put sustainability on the agenda of all sectors of the tourism industry. This Statement serves both as a summary of the discussions that took place during GEC07 and a practical tool for those seeking to improve their sustainability practices and those interested in learning more about ecotourism and its challenges".

• Tourism Development and Climate Change: Understanding, Anticipating, Adapting, Participating in the Common Effort, published by UN-World Tourism Organization.
  "There are few activities – besides agriculture, perhaps – that are as
  dependent on meteorology and climatology, that is to say, both the prevailing weather and longterm climate changes, as tourism. Tourism and leisure are based on a range of activities that, in large part, take place outdoors. Generally speaking, tourism loves good weather – and tourists as well!"

• Tourism and Mountains: A Practical Guide to Manage the Environmental and Social Impacts of Mountain Tours, published by UNEP
  "Mountain communities include several thousand different ethnic groups, and the uniqueness and diversity of these cultures is particularly attractive to many tourists. Well-managed tourism can be an ally in preserving local culture and values, while at the same time improving the social conditions of the poor and local communities. Poorly managed tourism, however, can contribute to the loss of cultural integrity and identity through cultural assimilation".
