Tourism, as with many parts of the economy, is at a
pause-reflect-rest stage in the post pandemic world. This book puts
forward some positive and practical concepts for the reset stage in
terms of pushing towards wholly sustainable tourism. The COVID-19
pandemic has been disastrous in terms of the loss of human life,
the physical and mental strains placed on large numbers of
populations across the globe who have been quarantined in their
homes and in terms of the costs of dealing with the pandemic and
supporting business and citizens through the period. Tourism has
been comprehensively damaged, not only in advanced economies, but
also in poorer developing economies where tourism provides a vital
source of income and employment. The problem has been complicated
by the shattering effect on mass tourism, which has been far more
sensitive to the shutdown of travel and accommodation than ethical
and responsible tourism activities focused at a local sustainable
level. Therefore this book evaluates how the pandemic and economic
decline affects ethical and responsible tourism - the type of
tourism which sustains and develops local communities in a balanced
way for the benefit of future generations. It reflects on the
position the authors established in "Ethical & Responsible
Tourism - managing sustainability in local tourism destinations"
and then determines how ethically and responsibly focused tourism
may adapt, develop and maintain safety for consumers in the
post-virus world. This book will be essential reading for students,
researchers and practitioners of tourism, environmental and
sustainability studies.
Ethical and Responsible Tourism explains the methods and practices
used to manage the environmental impact of tourism on local
communities and destinations. This new edition takes into account
recent global events such as the Covid-19 health crisis, the
impacts of the war in Ukraine on tourism in neighbouring regions,
and the consequences of the energy and cost of living crisis. The
three core themes of the book - destination management,
environmental and social aspects of ethical sustainable
development, and business impacts - are discussed across both topic
and case study chapters, alongside explanatory editorial analysis
with all chapters clearly signposted and interlinked. The case
studies address specific and practical examples from a global range
of examples including sites in Australasia, Central America,
Europe, Asia, North America and South America. In this new edition,
further case studies are included from the USA and Japan, as well
as new examples from Brazil, Croatia and Malta. Used as a core
textbook, the linking of theory in the topic chapters, and practice
gained through case studies, alongside further reading and
editorial commentary, Ethical and Responsible Tourism provides a
detailed and comprehensive learning experience. Specific case
studies can be used as standalone examples as part of a case
teaching approach, and the editorial and discussion elements are
designed to be suitable for those simply seeking a concise
overview, such as tourism professionals or potential investors in
sustainable tourism projects. This revised edition continues to be
essential reading for students, researchers and practitioners of
tourism, environmental and sustainability studies.

Tourism as a Resource-based Industry presents the conceptual
framework of the Norwegian economic geographer Sondre Svalastog and
functions as a practical tool for analyzing and identifying
resources when working towards a more sustainable tourism industry.
Tourism resources and their sustainability are analysed through the
lens of a multidisciplinary approach which includes social,
economic, cultural and natural dimensions. Contextual awareness is
achieved by combining research-based knowledge with local know-how
and information on local conditions. The book facilitates a way
forward that examines both productivity and sustainability. The
usefulness and value of Svalastog's conceptual work is demonstrated
by a selection of new case studies by experts in the field, from
different countries including Sweden, Norway, Slovenia, and the UK.
This book: - Identifies local conditions and resources, climate
change concerns, different types of tourists and a variety of
challenges in high-cost and low-cost countries. - Considers how
best to maximise potential and production, ensuring that both the
host community and tourist benefits. - Provides a wide-ranging
selection of case studies covering topics such as urban heritage,
national parks, niche tourism and location-specific tourism
products. - Presents ideas on how to secure sound planning within
the industry, using conceptual and methodological tools. Tourism
researchers and students will find this book helpful for
understanding the development of tourism and how it can contribute
to the UN Agenda 2030 which reflects the urgency for change, to
secure cultural and natural resources, health and social
resilience, and the stability of a socially constructed economy.
Thus, tourism research needs to include a constant review and if
required, renewal of processes that manage how society, culture and
natural resources are used to achieve a balanced sustainable
tourism process.
