This book analyses community-based approaches to developing and
regenerating tourism destinations in the developing world,
addressing this central issue in sustainable tourism practices. It
reviews a variety of systems useful for analysing and understanding
management issues to offer new insight into the skills and
resources that are needed for implementation, ongoing monitoring
and review of community-based tourism. Adopting a multidisciplinary
approach, this book explores alternatives to the dominant
interpretation which argues against tourism as a benefit for
community development. International case studies throughout the
book illustrate and vouch for tourism as a transformative force
while clarifying the need to manage expectations in sustainable
tourism for community development, rejuvenation and regeneration.
Emphasis is placed on accruing relevant decision-support material,
and creating services, products and management approaches that will
endure and adapt as change necessitates. This will be of great
interest to upper-level students, researchers and academics in the
fields of tourism impacts, sustainability, ethics and development
as well as the broader field of geography.

Gateway communities that neighbour parks and protected areas are
impacted by tourism, while facing unique circumstances related to
protected area management. Economic dependency remains a serious
challenge for these communities, especially in a climate of
neoliberalism, top-down policy environments, and park closures
related to environmental degradation or government budgets. The
collection of works in this edited book provide bottom-up,
informed, and nuanced approaches to tourism management using local
experiences from gateway communities and protected areas management
emerging from a decade of guidelines, rulemaking, and exclusive
decision-making. Global perspectives are presented and
contextualized at the local level of gateway communities in an
attempt to balance nature, community, and commerce, while
supporting the triple bottom line of sustainable tourism. While
anticipating a post-COVID 19 global shift, readers are encouraged
to think through transformation and resiliency in regard to how the
flux of supply vs demand alters gateway community perspectives on
tourism. Specific features of this book include: * Focus on
transformations, which provides insight into the complex and
dynamic nature of gateway communities. * Multidisciplinary,
multi-cultural insights into protected area management. * Applied
and conceptual chapters from global perspectives.

pilgrimage and religious tourism. With a focus on toolkits and best

for framing development. Key features include: - Global perspective
on tools as well as management approaches and techniques. -
Emphasis on sustainability in connecting sacred and secular
consumers. - Focus on promoting learning and development within
