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.
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.
Sustainability and green topics have become a crucial element in modern economy. All sectors of the economy are concerned, also the tourism industry. This book takes an overview on developments of sustainability in tourism from a multidisciplinary view point: economy, marketing, social science, media studies, political studies. In order to under-stand the long term changes in the field it is important to include different scientific approaches.
Tourism and Sustainability explores and challenges the notions of development, sustainability, globalisation and power, and their relationship to contemporary tourism in the third world.
Exploring tourism in an increasingly valuable landscape, this forward-looking book examines the importance of the sustainability of global travel. Leading authors in the field outline the major trajectories for research helpful in developing a sustainable and environmentally-minded industry.
Throughout the world, providers of tourism services are under pressure to balance the need for economic growth with the need to conserve natural resources. This book offers an introduction to the concepts of sustainable tourism.
Looking ahead to the 21st century, Sustainable Tourism explains the current thinking process that underlies the emerging international principles of more sustainable development in travel and tourism. Using international illustrations it draws on experience and good practice as they are being increasingly applied around the world in the late 1990s. In sharp contrast to the problem analysis approach adopted by so many authors to this subject, this book is focused on the pro-active role the private sector industry can play in partnership with the public sector to achieve solutions through its day-to-day operations and marketing, expecially in product enhancement and quality controls. Case material, contributed by senior professionals in the industry, include: *Kruger National Park, South Africa *Quicksilver Connections, Barrier Reef, Australia *Edinburgh's Old Town, UK *Ironbridge Gorge Museum, UK *Rutland Water, UK. Industry illustrations are drawn from British Airways, Grecotel, Inter-Continental Hotels and Resorts, the International Federation of Tour Operators, P&O and TUI.
