Its ability to boost economies, dynamics of growth, and good and bad effects on the environment and host communities make tourism an important industry in the context of SDGs for which sustainability in its relationship between the consumers (tourists), the industry, the environment, and the host communities is essential. On analyzing the impact (positive or negative) of tourism on SDG targets, we found that the majority (21 out of 32) of health targets are affected by tourism. On analyzing the 12 aims of the agenda of sustainable tourism, we see the precise relationship of 9 aims with community health; this makes health and tourism synergistic sectors. Enhancing the positive impacts of tourism and decreasing its negative implications for sustainable development of mountain communities through the ‘Health in All Policies (HiAP)’ approach can help by synergistic leverage in meeting SDGs’ targets and sustainable and responsible tourism activities.
