The dynamics of trust and distrust are central to understanding
modern society, social relations, and development processes.
However, numerous studies suggest that societal trust and citizen's
trust in government and its institutions are on the decline,
challenging the legitimacy of government and leading to an
undemocratic and unsustainable form of development. Recognizing its
importance, the authors for the first time situate trust within the
context of tourism development and planning. This volume discusses
trust in tourism from different yet intrinsically connected
perspectives. Chapters review how diminishing societal trust may
have adversely affected tourism planning systems, the role of trust
in good tourism governance and sustainable tourism, how trust can
be used as a facilitator of participatory tourism planning,
political trust in tourism institutions, power and how tourism
development can be a basis for trust creation among society members
by using social capital theory. In addition, a final section on
'Researching Trust in Tourism Development' means that readers are
not only provided a thorough theoretical framework on trust and an
understanding of its importance for sustainable tourism and good
governance of the sector, but also methodological aspects of
research on trust in the context of tourism development and
planning. This significant volume is valuable reading for students,
academics and researchers interested in tourism development and
planning.
