This document is aimed at local authorities who wish to understand more about how the Local Agenda 21 (LA 21) approach can be used to strengthen the management and development of sustainable tourism in their area and to integrate tourism with sustainable development. The following topics are covered in the document: the role of local authorities with respect to tourism and LA 21, the types of destination that have applied LA 21 to tourism, the key components of a LA 21 approach to tourism, and the key components of a LA 21 approach to tourism, and recommendations for promoting the use of LA 21 in tourism management in the future.

Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide: An introduction to sustainable development planning
Empirical evidence regarding Local Agenda 21 (LA21) seems to indicate that higher LA21 dissemination is linked to networking. However, it is not entirely clear which features networks should have to succeed. This research takes a step towards filling this gap by studying the variables that are able to create favourable attitude towards participative sustainability-led medium-term planning tools by tourism destination local authorities in a networking context. Our research context is an archipelago, which constitutes an Autonomous Community (region) in Spain, the Balearic Islands (The Balearics). Overall, favourable attitude is associated with a mix of variables reflecting the management approach of the promoters, the internal characteristics of the municipalities and the benefits emerging from networking. From a more disaggregated view, more cognitive-related variables (such as, prior expertise, instrumental benefits and learning) seem to be more important than more affective-related variables (such as entertainment, trust, identification, and relations with network promoters) to explain attitudes towards LA21. Our findings also confirm the difficulties to achieve local society participation.
As the world's largest industry, tourism has the potential to bring about substantial environmental and socio-economic improvements. This document translates Agenda 21 into a programme of action for the industry.
As the tourist industry becomes increasingly important to communities around the world, the need to develop tourism sustainably has also become a primary concern. This collection of international case-studies addresses this crucial issue by asking what local communities can contribute to sustainable tourism, and what sustainability can offer local communities. Individually these investigations present a wealth of original research and source material. Collectively the book illuminates the term 'community', the meaning of which, it is argued, is vital to understanding how sustainable tourism development can be implemented in practice.
Adopting a local agenda 21 strategy by the year 2000 means that everyone in local government should be in the business of improving the quality of life for local people. Working with them to meet their environmental, economic and social goals. Working not only with colleagues in the authority and other public service providers, but also with businessess, the voluntary sector and all the stakeholders in the wider community. This is what sustainable development is all about - an integrated approach, thinking about choices.
