Abstract: Tourism belongs to the ‘affluent society/economy phase’, which in crisis requires more social responsibility (SR) in general to overcome it. Tourism forms one of the biggest global economic sectors; it is crucial that tourism businesses and their developing and commercial projects maintain high standards of SR, that is, ethic of interdependence, requisite holism and systemic behavior, including responsibility for impacts on society. This contribution presents a brief analysis of the need for and the benefits of eco certificates and sustainability schemes for tourism (being often considered as important proofs of SR).
