Life Cycle Assessment  is a variant of an EMS that tracks a product, process or activity from "cradle to grave." In the Tourism industry, it assesses the use of resources and social and environmental impact during three phases: 1) departure and return travel, 2) stay at the destination, and 3) activities at the destination.
