Sustainable tourism, in its purest sense, is an industry that attempts to make a low impact on the environmental and local culture, while helping to generate income and employment without overtaxing any resources – whether human, environmental or man-made.

The carefully planned growth of tourism presents opportunities to raise the quality of life for residents, generate jobs and business opportunities, and protect our Adirondack lifestyle.
