Tourism Development and the Environment: Beyond Sustainability?
challenges the sustainable tourism development paradigm that has
come to dominate both theoretical and practical approaches to
tourism development over the last two decades. It extends the
sustainable tourism debate beyond the arguably managerialist
'blueprint' and destination-focused approach that continues to
characterise even the most recent 'sustainability' agenda within
tourism development. Reviewing the evolution of the sustainable
tourism development concept, its contemporary manifestations in
academic literature and policy developments and processes, the
author compares its limitations to prevailing political-economic,
socio-cultural and environmental contexts. He then proposes
alternative approaches to tourism development which, nevertheless,
retain environmental sustainability as a prerequisite of tourism
development. This book also acts as an introduction to the
Earthscan series Tourism, Environment and Development. About the
series: 'Tourism, Environment and Development' aims to explore,
within a variety of contexts, the developmental role of tourism as
it relates explicitly to its environmental consequences. Each book
will review critically and challenge 'traditional' perspectives on
(sustainable) tourism development, exploring new approaches that
reflect contemporary economic, socio-cultural and political
contexts.
