Balanced Tourism focuses on achieving an equilibrium between the economic, social, and environmental aspects of tourism while balancing growth and preservation. It seeks to optimize benefits for the destination while minimizing negative impacts, as well as reducing the leakage factor to drive inclusive economic growth.

While both Balanced Tourism and Sustainable Tourism aim for responsible tourism, Balanced Tourism specifically targets an equilibrium among various aspects of tourism to balance growth and preservation, whereas Sustainable Tourism is more focused on long-term conservation and responsible management of resources.
