Tourism is an activity that anyone can take part in, regardless of
their age, gender, nationality or level of income. This makes
tourism one of the most rapidly developing industries in the world.
Despite the number of benefits which tourism produces, it also has
significant negative impacts on the environment. To minimise the
scope of these negative impacts, joint efforts combining tourism
and environmental management are called for. This book examines the
application of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method and lifecycle
thinking as a tool to generate more accurate and holistic
appraisals of the environmental impacts of tourism. Looking at the
issue of sustainability of tourism operations, the book evaluates
how it can be improved. It highlights the potential of LCA to
affect tourist behaviour and contribute to tourism policy-making
and managerial practice. This book provides a valuable resource for
undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers interested in
sustainable tourism, sustainable development and environmental
impact assessment.
