Transitioning towards the future of tourism destinations: Resilient, smart, and green development by Francisco Femenia-Serra Pdf

This book offers a holistic yet diverse perspective on how tourism destinations are facing three interrelated and critical challenges: the uncertainty created by COVID-19 and its subsequent effects; digitalization processes and transition towards smarter destinations; and the quest for sustainability in a sector affected by climate change, to which it is at the same time one of the main contributors. This publication looks at destinations' adaptation strategies to this complex scenario by offering a collection of eleven chapters authored by reputed scholars from universities in different countries (Australia, United States, Spain, Argentina, among others), that have been selected for their scientific value, quality and contribution. The contribution of these research works is not only theoretical and conceptual but also practical, as the book includes stimulating guidelines, proposals and examples for destination management organizations, planners, policy makers, and other decision makers. The variety of contents (theoretical discussions, case studies, best practices, empirical results, innovative methods...) offers valuable insights and useful references for students, researchers, educators, destination managers, planers, marketers and tourism companies. This book offers its readership a unique opportunity to learn about how tourism destinations are preparing themselves for an uncertain future by deploying strategies to become smarter, greener and more resilient.

Resilient Destinations and Tourism by Jarkko Saarinen,Alison M. Gill Pdf

Sustainability is one of the most important issues currently facing the tourism sector. Recently, the role of resilience thinking has been highlighted in sustainable development discussions as an alternative perspective. This book approaches these concepts as interwoven processes and looks at change through a socioecological lens. Instead of seeing resilience and sustainability as alternative approaches, Resilient Destinations and Tourism argues that resilience should be understood as a fundamental part of sustainable tourism thinking for destination systems, and calls for better governance in implementation and management. Improving governance is the key issue in sustainable tourism development. The chapters in this edited collection focus on resilient destinations from a governance perspective, in which tourism resilience is contextualized as an integral part of pathway creation in the process of moving towards sustainable tourism. The contributions to the book represent a range of theoretical and empirical approaches with a wide international scope. Resilient Destinations and Tourism calls for rethinking the meaning of sustainable development in tourism and looks at how sustainability and resilience could be integrated. This book will appeal to a wide range of research disciplines and students whose modules focus on the relationship between tourism and sustainability planning, governance, the environment, and hazards and disasters.

Tourism in the Green Economy by Maharaj Vijay Reddy,Keith Wilkes Pdf

The concept of the green economy has now entered mainstream policy debates and been endorsed by a range of United Nations and other organizations. The Rio+20 UN conference specifically drew attention to the green economy approach in the context of sustainable development to move away from business-as-usual practices, act to end poverty, address environmental destruction and build a bridge to the sustainable future. It is increasingly recognized that the tourism sector can make a major contribution to the green economy through more sustainable practices, climate change mitigation and ecotourism. The role of tourism sector will continue to be crucial in the post-2015 sustainable development agenda too. However, there are ambiguities about how tourism and allied industries can maximize their contribution to human well-being and ensure environmentally sustainability, embracing issues of political economy, geography and business ethics. In this context, this book provides consensus about what the green economy entails, what role tourism can play in a green economy, early responses from many countries, on-going and emerging research initiatives that will enable tourism’s transition to a green economy. The chapters address three key themes: understanding the Green Economy concept and the role of tourism; responses and initiatives in greening tourism; and emerging techniques and research implications. A wide range of case studies from around the world and in different contexts is included to demonstrate the extent of the challenge and range of opportunities for the tourism industry.

Degrowth and Tourism by C. Michael Hall,Linda Lundmark,Jundan Jasmine Zhang Pdf

The sustainability of tourism is increasingly under question given the challenges of overtourism, COVID-19 and the contribution of tourism to climate and environmental change. Degrowth and Tourism provides an original response to the central problem of growth in tourism, an imperative that has been intrinsic within tourism practice, and directs the reader to rethink the impacts of tourism and possible alternatives beyond the sustainable growth discourse. Using a multi-scaled approach to investigate degrowth’s macro effects and micro indications in tourism, this book frames degrowth in tourism in terms of business, destination and policy initiatives. It uses a combination of empirical research, case studies and theory to offer new perspectives and approaches to analyse issues related to overtourism, COVID-19, small-scale tourism operations and entrepreneurship, mobility and climate change in tourism. Interdisciplinary chapters provide studies on animal-based tourism, nature-based tourism, domestic tourism, developing community-centric tourism and many other areas, within the paradigm of degrowth. This book offers significant insight on both the implications of degrowth paradigm in tourism studies and practices, as well as tourism’s potential contributions to the degrowth paradigm, and will be essential reading for all those interested in sustainable tourism and transformations through tourism.
