Oct 2023 | 240pp
The book addresses the introduction and establishment of sustainable tourism in the Americas. It examines what is really meant by sustainable tourism and relates this to the recent criteria and indicators developed by GSTC and other standards and based on the indicators and observatories’ work associated with UNWTO.
Sustainable Tourism in the Americas introduces the reader to the establishment of sustainable tourism across the region. It examines questions such as ‘what is really meant by sustainable tourism?’
Covered in eight chapters, the book discusses the evolution and application of the concept in the Americas from its origins as well as documenting established success stories of sustainable tourism policy and implementation from several countries in the Americas. The country and regional case studies critically examine what sustainable tourism means in their destination and address how in practice the concept of sustainability can be built to show results across different cultural and ecological situations ranging from local indigenous sites to urban environments.
The book presents solid findings and includes content from:
- research of academics and experiences of those working within the heritage setting;
- recent criteria and indicators of sustainable tourism developed by GSTC and other standards, indicators and observatories work associated with UNWTO;
- success stories of managing Western tourism destinations and applies relevant lessons to Americas;
- Provides support to those who need to study and manage impacted
It will be a valuable addition to the current lack of literature on this concept and of particular interest to those working within and studying tourism management and related themes.
