The art of sustainable tourism
“Sustainable Tourism” is one of the most popular ideas to emerge from Park City’s 2020 visioning process. Everybody loves it and wants it … if only we knew what it is. It seems to have something to do with tourism conforming to and strengthening local values, such as social equity and environmental sustainability.
I propose here another specific, measurable aspect of sustainable tourism: It does not take direct public subsidy. That is, it is financially self-supporting, not requiring assistance from local property taxation. Hold that thought a moment.
So, let’s discuss the evolving arts and culture district from this perspective. Although we call it a “district,” it is really about two big and growing dogs, Sundance Institute and Kimball Art Center, both of which happen to need permanent, statement headquarters facilities.
