Water Testing at Tourism Venues

Ecotourism and tourism to remote locations is a booming industry in many parts of the world. Millions of tourists travel to remote locations to learn about and protect natural environments, and sustain the well-being of local people.

However, tourism venues are vulnerable to unsafe water quality. Tourism venue water quality is susceptible to health risks, especially in remote, semi-developed or developing areas.

Water is not always tested for quality or appropriately treated. Reliance on tourism advice websites may avoid mentioning or even mask occurrences of waterborne illnesses and outbreaks.

Guest health should be of primary importance for tourism. Tourism venues and staff are responsible for ensuring safe water in their facilities.

To prevent industry damage and liability, ecotourism staff must routinely test water for quality and take appropriate corrective actions.
