Abstract

United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) suggests that sustainable tourism has a major effect on five substantial sectors as follows: (a) strengthening sustainable economic growth; (b) creating employment opportunities and reducing poverty; (c) ensuring resource efficiency and responding to the climate change; (d) conserving the culture value and heritage; and (e) enhancing the public mutual understanding (UNWTO, 2016). Proposed by Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) in 2016, the Global Sustainable Tourism Council's Criteria for Destinations (GSTC-D) outlines the world's most accepted criteria of sustainable tourism destination. This study believes that it is viable to apply GSTC-D when evaluating the development of a national tourism destination. Scholars further suggest that national scenic areas have the legitimacy of becoming an important area of sustainable destinations (Bieger et al., 2009; Bornhorst et al., 2010; Dredge, 1999).
