Sustainability remains one of the major issues in tourism today.
Concerns over climate and environmental change, the fallout from
the global economic and financial crisis, and the seeming failure
to meeting UN Millennium development goals have only reinforced the
need for more sustainable approaches to tourism, however they be
defined. Given the centrality of sustainability in tourism
curricula, policies, research and practice it is therefore
appropriate to prepare a state of the art handbook on the
relationship between tourism and sustainability. This timely
Handbook of Tourism and Sustainability is developed from
specifically commissioned original contributions from recognised
authors in the field. The handbook is interdisciplinary in coverage
and is also international in scope through its authorship and
content. The 'start of the art' orientation of the book in terms of
both approaches to and management of tourism and sustainability as
well as a global assessment of tourism's impacts means that the
book willbe a benchmark for any future assessment of the field.
This volume provides a systematic guide to the current state of
knowledge on tourism and sustainability.It commences with a
state-of-the-art assessment of tourism's global environmental, e.g.
climate, emissions, energy use, biodiversity, water use, land use,
and socio-economic effects, e.g. economic impacts, employment and
livelihoods, culture. The assessment then provides the context for
the following sections that provide accounts of the main
theoretical frameworks and constructs that inform tourism and
sustainability, management tools and approaches, and the approaches
used in different tourism and travel industry sectors. The book
concludes with a section that examines emerging and future concerns
in tourism and sustainability such as peak-oil, post-carbon
tourism, green economy and transition tourism. This is essential
reading for students, researches and academics interested in the
possibilities of sustainable forms of tourism and tourism's
contribution to sustainable development. It's assessment of
tourism's global impact along with its overviews of sectoral and
management approaches will provide a benchmark by which the
sustainability of tourism will be measured for years to come.
