Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's world, sustainability has become a fundamental concern in all industries and tourism is no exception. As tourists flock to destinations around the world, it is crucial that we consider the environmental, social and economic impacts of tourism on these places. Sustainable tourism is a way of visiting a destination that allows the conservation of natural and cultural resources while also benefiting the local community and economy. It is a holistic tourism approach that takes into account the needs and interests of all stakeholders, as well as the long-term effects of tourism on a destination. In this book, we will examine various aspects of sustainable tourism, from its history and definitions to its principles and practices. We will also discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with sustainable tourism and explore ways in which it can be implemented in destinations around the world. As you read, we hope you will gain a better understanding of sustainable tourism and its importance in today's world. By incorporating sustainability principles into your personal and business cultures, you can play a role in keeping the destinations you visit alive for future generations. With this in mind, we explore the concept of sustainable tourism and how it fits within the broader framework of tourism paradigms. In this regard, I believe that this book will fill an important gap in the literature. I wish this valuable work to contribute to the reader, and I would like to thank our valuable stakeholders who contributed to the book.

Download or read book Green Growth and Travelism written by Terry DeLacy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The green growth paradigm emerged from evolving global strategies that coherently promote a more socially inclusive, low-carbon, resource-efficient, stable economy, with decreasing poverty. Opportunities and challenges associated with the paradigm shift are expected to transform the travel and tourism (travelism) sector in all respects and on a global scale. This involves the transformation of the entire travelism value chain, as well as the communities in tourism destinations. However, there is a lack of systematic reports on wide-ranging and complex implications of the green growth paradigm for the travelism sector. This book focuses on the twin pillars – green growth and travelism – as key building blocks in exploring an essential multi-decade lifestyle change for planetary and human well-being, through the lenses of concept, policy and practice. It provides a conceptual discussion of the implications of the new development trend for key players in the travelism system, offers case studies from both developed and developing countries that highlight key issues in the transformation towards the green economy, and explores the policy settings and frameworks on both the global and national levels that underpin travelism green growth. This book offers tourism industry players, academics, students, policy makers and practitioners a comprehensive discussion of the latest progress in green growth and travelism.
