AB The Canary Islands registered record arrivals in recent pre-pandemic years. However,quantitative growth has positive and negative socio-cultural, economical, and environmentalimpacts. To control, and eventually mitigate these impacts, they are measured as indicators.These destination tools contribute to monitoring sustainability, managing tourism activity, andpromoting evidence-based decision-making in the long-term. The aim of this masterdissertation is to develop a system of indicators of tourism sustainability adapted to the CanaryIslands with the support of previous experiences within the International Network ofSustainable Tourism Observatories of the World Tourism Organisation (INSTO-UNWTO) andother main international systems of tourism sustainability indicators. The major results includea system of indicators and real data of key issues related to tourism sustainability. Theindicators have been applied by some international members on different territorial scales,even if there is still a lack of quantifications about waste, water, and climate effects in tourism.The International Network of Sustainable Tourism can indeed be seen as a model to follow,but needs to improve towards better indicators on sustainability, particularly at the localdestination scale.Key Words: sustainability, system of indicators, tourism, Canary Islands, tourismobservatories, INSTO
