Social location, or the status in life that people have because of their place in a society, have a huge impact on everyone.

Tourism has taken a toll on many Native Hawaiians and is a huge human rights issue today. Most Hawaiians dislike tourism greatly due to the selfishness and greediness tourists bring to their home country. The pastor at a small rural church on the island of Kauai, Reverend Kaleo Patterson, has witnessed and dealt with numerous Hawaiians who struggle with the issues of tourism. Numerous vacation resorts that attract tourists have taken over gravesites of Hawaiians that have passed away. Due to this problem ancient Hawaiians have to partake in reburials. Tourism causes destruction to coral reefs and rivers because of mindless pollution. Reverend Patterson has protested and given public hearings in effort to acknowledge her fury on tourism. Tourism has brought an uncontrollable worldwide business that has no sympathy or thoughtfulness for the original people of Hawaii.

Four different stakeholder groups have been identified for this study in sustainable tourism: the present tourists, the present host community, the future tourists, and the future host community. All of these groups have a legitimate interest in tourism development in their community because they can affect or be affected by the tourism business as a whole.

Doxey (1975) describes the changing of residents’ attitudes toward tourists in the following four stages: euphoria, apathy, irritation and antagonism. Assuming the presence of tourists forms a source of pressure on local residents when the impacts of an evolving tourism industry in their area become more pronounced and their perceptions change with experience. However, the assumption that homogeneity characterises a community is the limitation of this framework.

Planning and development are both extremely important factors within the tourism industry and can have both positive and negative effects on the environment, local communities and tourist destinations. “Destination planning aims to limit the negative impacts of cultural tourism upon the history and lifestyles of the local community. An understanding of sustainable tourist development allows for the development of culture without loss of its authentic identity” (Maidment. T. 2012). This statement discusses the importance of planning to avoid having any negative impacts on environments and communities. Because the effects of tourism are so severe to destinations, many natural and cultural resources have been destroyed, therefore tourism planning is vital to preserve and maintain these places for future generations.

The great benefit of the tourism industry is that it is tremendously labor intensive, and many of the businesses that operate within it are only small, local businesses.

Without these factors working together, sustainability would be difficult to achieve within a community. Communal empowerment consists of multiple aspects that need to work together to bring about effective, sustainable tourism, one of which is economic progress.

These social impacts affect on the local people of host communities of their direct and indirect association with tourists. Tourists come face to face with the object of exchanging information and ideas. This situation is more important for international understandings. The tourist is mobile, relaxed, free spending; enjoying the leisure and absorbing the experience of being in a different places whereas the local people are stationary and employed in the tourist industry, spend a large portion of the time for needs and desire of visitors.
