This is the first book to address the concept of resilience and its
specific application and relevance to tourism, in particular
tourism destinations. Resilience relates to the ability of
organisms, communities, ecosystems and populations to withstand the
impacts of external forces while retaining their integrity and
ability to continue functioning. It is particularly applicable to
tourism destinations and attractions which are exposed to the
potentially harmful and sometimes severe effects of tourism
development and visitation, but which also can experience increased
resilience from the economic benefits of tourism. Phenomena such as
destination communities, wildlife populations and ecosystems are
discussed, as well as the ability of places and communities to use
tourism and its infrastructure to recover from disasters such as
tsunamis, earthquakes, unrest and disease. This book: * Compares
the relevance of resilience to sustainability * Contains
contributions from many of the leading international authors *
Brings together varying viewpoints of both conceptual and applied
issues * Includes example case studies from Whistler, western
Canada; Sri Lanka; Purnululu National Park, Australia; and the
remote Pitcairn Island in the Pacific Tourism and Resilience is
relevant for researchers, students and practitioners in tourism and
related fields such as development studies, geography, sociology,
anthropology, economics and business/management.
Design, construction and use of laboratory autoclaves and other
types of high pressure apparatus all the way up to pilot-plant
scale. The most common application being hydrogenation in organic
chemistry.
Responsible Tourism: Using tourism for sustainable development 2nd
edition is about the globally vital necessity of realising
sustainable tourism. It is a hugely important challenge to those
who organise and sell travel and tourism, and those who consume it.
