No. Tourism is not sustainable in Antarctica, because sustainability implies a cycle. People who tour to Antarctica come on cruise ships, where they sleep and eat. Daily, they leave the cruise ships in zodiacs, to trek upon the continent, and visit penguin colonies, abandoned whaling stations, and other sites. They spend no money there; there are no native peoples or crafts to benefit from tourism. The perfect tourist leaves only footprints, and then only where footprints are allowed.
sustainable or eco tourism
Global Partnership for Sustainable Tourism was created in 2010.

No. Tourism can be sustainable.
There are two versions of sustainable tourism. Eco-tourism is similar but is more focussed on environmental impacts and saving the world for future generations. Sustainable tourism is a place, event or tourist attraction that is sustainable in three main areas, it meets the "Triple Bottom Line". To be sustainable, it must be economically, environmentally and socio-culturally sustainable. Not many tourism ideas and places are, but they can meet the Line partially.

Using sustainable tourism would be a logical solution. The aim of sustainable tourism is to make a low impact on the environment and local people while opening future job opportunities for locals and creating an enjoyable and financially sustainable tourism resort.
All tourism in Antarctica takes place on the vessels that sail into Antarctic waters. There are no tourist facilities on the continent. Tourism is managed by the tour operators in sustainable ways, because they follow rather strict guidelines for dumping waste at sea, accessing the continent, enforcing zero littering protocols and so forth. Because all that is taken from Antarctica are visible views, there is really nothing in these phenomenon to sustain that doesn't already exist.
no difference. just the linguistic difference
