SDG 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

According to the UNWTO and the Sustainable Development Goals, tourism holds the potential to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. A potential way to do this is by reinvesting the tax income generated from tourism in health care and services. This will help to improve maternal health, reduce child mortality and prevent diseases. Another strategy is to use visitors fees, that are collected in protected areas, to contribute to local health services.⠀

Other important initiatives tourism business can take are supporting health prevention programs (f.e. HIV/Aids awareness training) as well as health and disasters awareness and donations. They can take action to prevent and halt sex tourism. Lastly, they can also aim to guarantee their customer’s security and health through prevention campaigns and health facilities.⠀
