The Global Code of Ethics for Tourism

The Global Code of Ethics for Tourism (GCET) is a set of principles that promotes responsible and sustainable tourism. It helps governments, the travel industry, communities, and tourists maximize the benefits of tourism while minimizing its negative impacts. These impacts can affect the environment, cultural heritage, and societies worldwide.

The World Tourism Organization’s General Assembly adopted the code in 1999. The United Nations recognized it two years later, prompting the UNWTO to implement its provisions. While the code is not legally binding, it includes a voluntary implementation mechanism. The World Committee on Tourism Ethics (WCTE) helps stakeholders with questions about the code’s application.

Golden Scarab

The code’s ten principles cover the economic, social, cultural, and environmental aspects of travel and tourism in detail.

  • Article 1: Tourism’s contribution to mutual understanding and respect between peoples and societies
  • Article 2: Tourism as a vehicle for individual and collective fulfillment
  • Article 3: Tourism, a factor of sustainable development
  • Article 4: Tourism, a user of the cultural heritage of humanity and contributor to its enhancement
  • Article 5: Tourism, a beneficial activity for host countries and communities
  • Article 6: Obligations of stakeholders in tourism development
  • Article 7: Right to tourism
  • Article 8: Liberty of tourist movements
  • Article 9: Rights of the workers and entrepreneurs in the tourism industry
  • Article 10: Implementation of the principles of the Global Code of Ethics for Tourism
