Understand how sustainable tourism works and what opportunities it provides. Then look at the Market for sustainable tourism products. At the moment you need go no further than the LOHAS market (people who live lifestyles of health and sustainability). Then profile your own clients and see who of them fit the LOHAS profile.
A Few Top Tips:
Travel agent outbound/inbound
List and understand the sustainable tourism products that you have available. You should find that they provide a particularly good return. Make them available in a sustainable way.
Tour operator outbound/inbound
List your green opportunities locally/in your destinations. Showcase them. Monitor the return
Hotel or guest house

Tourist attraction

Destination marketing/management organisation
Are you teaching all of your staff about the benefits of sustainable tourism? Are you engaging all of your clients in the economic, social, cultural and environmental aspects?
