Tourism and Sustainable Community Development Summary
| 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. The role of the community in environmental, cultural and economic sustainability is highlighted in an extraordinary variety of contexts, ranging from inner city Edinburgh to rural northern Portugal and the beaches of Indonesia. 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. |
