Rating systems has started to be a tool to manage and asses the performance in many countries in the world. Furthermore the lack of a community rating system in Egypt has affected the cities and tourism potential as well, knowing that the Egyptian touristic sector is a rapidly growing industry. To manage the performance of the touristic communities, a rating system applicable in Egypt was developed. The findings of the research suggest that the customized applicable rating system in touristic cities has great resiliency within the existing local community. The aim of the paper is to present a new custom rating system to reduce the environmental load of the tourist community in Egypt. The research aim to focus on the investigation of livable community performance assessment for touristic cities to set a new criterion that follow the guidelines of site and urban development, green infrastructure, efficient energy, green transportation and sustainable tourism while protecting human's rights. This paper sets a new proposal of an Egyptian rating system to achieve better environmental, social, economic and touristic performance of communities. The research objective is to encourage the resort operators and developers to utilize green standards, evaluate options and assess the level of their touristic communities.
