Is there a particular country or region that is leading the way in sustainable tourism practices?

Hey man,

I actually just did some research on this topic! It looks like there are a few countries and regions that are leading the way in sustainable tourism practices.

First up is Costa Rica, which has been known for its eco-tourism efforts for years. They have implemented policies to protect their natural resources and biodiversity, and have also encouraged the development of sustainable tourism activities like hiking, birdwatching, and wildlife viewing.

Another country making waves in sustainable tourism is Bhutan. They prioritize preservation of their natural and cultural heritage in their tourism policies, and have even adopted a "Gross National Happiness" index to measure their progress towards sustainable development.

In Europe, Norway is also a leader in sustainable tourism. They have initiatives like "Green Travel," which encourages environmentally friendly transportation options, and "Eco-Lighthouse," which certifies businesses and destinations that meet certain environmental standards.

Overall, it's clear that many countries and regions are recognizing the importance of sustainable tourism and taking steps to prioritize it in their policies and efforts. It's heartening to see this kind of progress being made, and I hope we continue to see more and more places follow suit.

Hope that helps answer your question!
