According to Cooper and Hall (2016) , problems associated with the consequences of tourism are
often treated in a one-dimensional, often disciplinary fashion rather than seeing issues as being
intertwined.
4.6 Corporate sustainability indicator on Participation.
Sustainable development is a challenging social process. The different objectives of society -
social, economic and environmental, need to be integrated where possible, and traded-off where
they are incompatible. Institutional and individual roles and responsibilities have to change, so
that new patterns of behavior will foster sustainable development.
Indicators on Equality and participation encompass the distributional aspects of development, in
terms of sharing both the burdens and benefits in different areas. Many of these indicators deal
with traditional economic and social welfare issues, additional data reflect the interest in

promoting changes in production and consumption patterns in a more sustainable direction.
During the interview, respondent A stated that:
“When it comes to decent work and economic growth which is one of the sustainable
development goals, it basically talks about how the people within the organization or institutions
work without difficulties. So when it comes to ministry of tourism, we have welfare policies,
transport policies and others. Example is providing transport services to staff for efficiency.”
He added that, these benefits come with a cost which the company bares and report in their
books during their annual reporting. It also emerged during the interviews that, successful past
strategies appear also to have been participatory. Conversely, strategies that appear to be going
nowhere, even though the documentation may look good, frequently have been characterized by
a lack of participation. Respondent A recommended that;
“there is little precedent for dealing with these challenges. Taking participation into the
mainstream of planning and development activity needs further research and interaction, and
changes in institutional and professional attitudes and environments. For these and other
reasons, networking within and between countries on participation aspects is strongly
recommended.”
This would be particularly valuable amongst policy analysts in corporate institutions, planners
and others who are working in multidisciplinary ways, and those who have been behind effective
participatory approaches. If participation can be facilitated, it could effectively counter a failing
of past strategies - that they can become overly-comprehensive "planners' dreams". In contrast,
with effective participation, strategies should become the result of society defining its (diverse)

needs for sustainable development, and professionals devising practicable ways to undertake the
desired actions.
