Edited by two leading scholars in the field, this new title in the
Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts in the Social
Sciences, is a four-volume collection of canonical and cutting-edge
research in sustainable tourism. The origins of sustainable tourism
as a topic of serious academic interest are comparatively recent.
The subject is largely a postwar development which began to unfold
in the 1960s, initially in the USA and Europe. With the continuing
growth in concern about the grave impacts of tourism on the
environment, society, and cultures, the subject area has continued
to evolve internationally from a number of other disciplines and
cognate areas-most notably environmental studies and geography,
economics, and sociology, but also planning and management-and
there has been a corresponding growth in sustainable-tourism
scholarship. Sustainable tourism is now a vibrant and dynamic field
of study and research, and the sheer scale of the growth in its
output makes this collection especially timely. A wide range of
social-science journals have published material about sustainable
tourism and this new Routledge Major Work makes available
foundational pieces of scholarship-as well as cutting-edge
research-from these disparate, and sometimes less accessible
sources, as well as from the leading UK, European, and North
American tourism journals, and from other publications, some of
which are no longer in print. As well as bringing together the key
studies and journal articles that have shaped serious thought about
sustainable tourism, the collection will be welcomed as the first
mapping of an area that to date has lacked an interdisciplinary
synthesis. The thematic organization of the collection, together
with the editors' introductions and their commentaries on the
collected texts, help to make sense of the wide range of
approaches, theories, and concepts that have informed sustainable
tourism, and review the history of the subject and the rise of its
identity and research agenda. Sustainable Tourism is an essential
collection, destined to be valued as a vital research resource by
all scholars and students of the subject.
