Abstract

Responsible Tourism stands for responsibility for decisions, actions, and policies of all those involved in the planning, management, delivery, and consumption of tourism so that it is sustainable over time. Museums as a stakeholder in tourism have a great cultural, economic and environmental impact on society. The research aims to assess the responsibility of the Egyptian Museum in the tourism sector and destination in general through the principles for responsible museums. These principles are the guidelines' principles for responsible tourism set out in accordance with the Cape Town Declaration of 2002 applicable to museums. These principles envision a triple bottom line, economic responsibility, socio-cultural responsibility, and environmental responsibility. These principles focus on the responsibility of all museum stakeholders “professionals, and public". Therefore, these principles were assessed through a mixed methodology that was adopted. A qualitative approach based on interviews was conducted with professionals in the Egyptian Museum. Furthermore, a quantitative approach based on a questionnaire was directed to visitors of the Egyptian Museum. This field study concluded that the Egyptian Museum is on the path of development in several fields and through several projects. While it requires the Egyptian Museum to adhere to principles for a responsible museum to contribute to sustainable tourism development in Egypt.
