Sustainable Tourism has become a topic of discussion in several venues all over the world more precisely in resort areas.  This issue became more evident during the Covid pandemic when tourism at outdoor recreation areas became more popular as a destination especially when it could avoid air travel and accessible within a few hours of driving time.  This sudden increase in visitation created several negative impacts to the local communities, governing jurisdictions, housing, traffic and resources.  In response, it became evident that Marketing strategies needed to be redirected, limiting access needed to be considered, planning jurisdictions needed to re assess their ability to accommodate the increased demands on their infrastructure and surrounding resident communities needed to have their concerns addressed.  Also from an environmental standpoint resources were possibly being stressed to a point of no return.  Efforts to address these issues range from Destination Marketing Organizations changing to Destination Management Organizations and studying what can be done to control the over demand.  This creates an opportunity for marinas, especially those in resort areas, to participate in any actions that might be ongoing in their communities concerning these issues in order to understand the future of boating growth in our industry.
