1. INTRODUCTION Tourism is one of the important elements to develop economic and social for every country. However, tourism development is relevant to unsustainable practice for many years (World Tourism Organization (WTO), 2006). Thus, it is necessary to combine more sustainable performance in tourism system. Over 900 million people have travelled international in 2011 and it can be reached 1,5 billion in 2020 (WTO,2006). It means that tourism is increasing rapidly so the travel services will bring forward new approaches and strategies to expand business and attract tourist as well. Therefore, tourism system will be more complicated. Based on Weaver (2006, p21) the complexity of tourism systems “greatly complicates the planning and management of tourism destinations and businesses and requires the application of new approaches and strategies” to achieve sustainable tourism.
The essay’s aim is to discuss about the complexity of tourism systems. This essay will cover the main definition of sustainable tourism (ST) that is related to sustainable development (SD), alternative tourism (AT), mass tourism (MT), the complexity of tourism system. Furthermore, it would argue methods towards ST and how ST can be reached.
