Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences and law,
expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be
accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of
the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas. This critical review of sustainable tourism, from its
beginnings in the late 1980s to the present, examines the pressing
challenges posed by the effects of global warming and the
persistence of deep poverty and social unrest in many regions.
David Weaver explores the convergence of mass and 'alternative'
tourism as a dominant theme. Originally perceived as two
incompatible forms of tourism, they are positioned in this book
through enlightened mass tourism as unified components of a single
global 'tourisystem' with the power to achieve sustainable tourism.
Key features include: a global systems perspective the presentation
of enlightened mass tourism as an aspirational outcome discussion
of climate change, resilience and smart tourism as major challenges
for sustainable tourism. Offering a concise introduction to the
topic, tourism students will appreciate the clear look into the
benefits and challenges of sustainable tourism. This will also be
an insightful read for destination managers and tourism officials
responsible for implementing sustainable outcomes.
