Essentially, sustainable development advocates the wise use and conservation of resources in order to maintain their long-term viability (Eber, 1992, p. 1).
The principles of sustainable development are ecological sustainability, economic sustainability, social sustainability and cultural sustainability (Jamieson, et al, 2000). Ecological sustainability refers to the direction towards ecological principles and biological diversify. Economical sustainability refers to development economically efficient within generations. Social sustainability refers to the increase of people's control over their own lives; maintain and strengthen community identity. Cultural sustainability refers to development compatible with the culture and values of affected people. The above-mentioned shows the need for sustainability in all form of tourism in order to sustain.

According to X.Su and P.Teo, a questionnaire survey was used to ascertain the local perceptions on heritage and the state (2008: p.153). However, the planner from Shanghai argues that 'as a World Heritage Site, Lijiang should place conservation in the framework of development' (Shao et al. 2004: 53)
Conclusion
The aim of this essay is to present an argument to support the notion (Hunter in Harris et al p11), that it is unreasonable to expect a universally acceptable and concise definition of Sustainable Tourism. Different countries have different perception to tourism. As mentioned (refer to Local Conditions), some countries are able to invest to preserve the environment or even build new resorts whereas less-developed countries are unable to do so.
For example, a survey approached was used to collect data from residents of the Sunshine Coast region; the studies found out that more residents living in the coastal area with high tourist activity nearby perceived a higher positive impact of tourism than residents of hinterland areas in the vicinity of high tourist activity (B.Sharma and P.Dyer, 2009). In this case, it shows that different region of people has different definition of sustainable tourism.
