Abstract

This paper, being conceptual in nature, arises out of the imperatives of sustainable usage of both natural and man-made heritage resources, particularly, monuments, parks and other natural resources which are generally consumed for the purposes of tourism. The paper observed the obligation of centralising the planet Earth in the consciousness of global development. In this regard, the paper argued for an adoption of the communitarian ethics as a frame of reference in any development project. Communitarian ethics has been found on the principle of common good. Thus, following this framework any development would meet the sustainable development obligation only if was predicated, not on individual or unilateral interests but on the interests of the global community at large. This is what the concept of communitarianism is about.
