Abstract

This chapter explores how acknowledging water as a human right affects government, business, and local communities in tourism. Tourism businesses have the responsibility to respect and protect the right to water, which aligns with the SDGs, particularly SDGs 5, 6, and 10. When the human right to water is not protected and respected, multifaceted violations occur and the potential for tourism to contribute to sustainable development will be undermined. The chapter suggests ways to improve tourism water management and prevent human rights abuses. By adopting responsible water management practices and engaging in partnerships with local communities, the tourism industry can help to promote the realization of the human right to water while also contributing to sustainable tourism.
