Tourism and Sustainable Economic Development highlights the
opportunities and risks of nature-based tourism for economic
development and explores selected strategies for sustainability.
The prospect of tourism growth is a potential source of major
challenges and considerable threats on a number of levels. The
concept of sustainable tourism development has thus become the
focus of the debate on this subject. This invaluable book aims to
provide useful analytical and empirical tools in support of the
idea that sustainability is not just about regulating and
controlling the negative impacts of tourism. It is also about
policies and actions that aim to reinforce the benefits and reduce
the costs of tourism, in order to make it more profitable now and
in the future. The chapters focused on economic modelling offer a
valuable overview of the main issues currently debated at the
academic level. The book also illustrates a number of empirical
instruments that will provide a useful reference for academics and
policymakers interested in how to put theory into practice. This
study will be of great value to economists, geographers and to
those who have a direct or indirect interest in tourism economics.
