Tourism activities are increasingly participating as a source of income in both developed and developing countries. The internationalization of tourism activity was therefore confronted with the protests of those who supported the protection of the environment and who called for the alignment of these activities to the principles of the concept of global environment.
Economic development is a major objective of contemporary society which, transposed to the rural area, makes it a factor of production. Regional tourism represents for many countries an alternative to economic development, but it needs a well-developed strategy for a long-term sustainability of this field of activity. Providing regional tourism must be done with special responsibility without omitting the importance of motivation in choosing a certain destination. This empirical research makes a foray into the literature on the sustainability of regional tourism and, using the observation method, presents practical ways of action in this field from several European countries and Lebanon. The main findings reside in the fact that regional tourism can be sustainable if it highlights a sum of intrinsic characteristics that are perpetuated without negatively influencing the environmental, social, economic or cultural dimensions of the considered area.
