Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 21st century, firms are increasingly being challenged to get involved in the sustainable development initiatives. This is because the world has woken up to the reality that the survival of the human race depends on our ability to conserve and preserve our environmental resources. The hospitality and tourism sector is both a victim and a perpetrator of the problem. In particular mass tourism and a failure to create appropriate facilities have led to the depletion of resources. The attitudes and behaviors of the stakeholders are also retrogressive in the sustainability course. At the same time, the actions taken by people in other sectors are likely to cause harm to other industries. Therefore amicable solutions must be found. Adoption of environmental management functions such as planning, coordination, control and directing of resources is likely to assist firms, nongovernmental organizations, and consumers in the hospitality and tourism industry to achieve sustainability goals. This cannot be achieved if the environmental issues in the contemporary world are not fully defined. Indeed, it is by comprehending the impact of issues such as climate change that sustainability goals can be developed. This book covers a range of issues that must be addressed to achieve sustainable hospitality and tourism management. It starts by highlighting the current environmental issues and possible solutions. Information on sustainable food systems, green building designs, waste management, certification, eco-labeling, and sustainable travel is then discussed. Finally, strategies for training employees on how to better understand and introduce sustainability are discussed. Case studies are included to demonstrate that sustainable development is achievable. This book demonstrates that everyone must take responsibility for making the necessary changes in dealing with the negative impact of climate change. Accordingly, the detail of the role of the consumer in the tourism sector is included, for instance, opting for green products and services when traveling is one of the recommendations made. The government's position regarding creating a mandate for sustainable tourism including policies and incentives is also addressed. Firms in this sector will also find information on corporate social responsibility measures and initiatives that could transform society. The book further suggests that other then playing individual or specific roles, the element of collaboration and partnerships amongst the governmental agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and consumers in achieving sustainable development is critical. After reading this book, firms and individuals will have been challenged enough to become agents of change in the society. From the students to managers, policymakers, and researchers, this book is relevant. Constructive feedback and criticism are welcome. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism, as with many parts of the economy, is at a pause-reflect-rest stage in the post pandemic world. This book puts forward some positive and practical concepts for the reset stage in terms of pushing towards wholly sustainable tourism. The COVID-19 pandemic has been disastrous in terms of the loss of human life, the physical and mental strains placed on large numbers of populations across the globe who have been quarantined in their homes and in terms of the costs of dealing with the pandemic and supporting business and citizens through the period. Tourism has been comprehensively damaged, not only in advanced economies, but also in poorer developing economies where tourism provides a vital source of income and employment. The problem has been complicated by the shattering effect on mass tourism, which has been far more sensitive to the shutdown of travel and accommodation than ethical and responsible tourism activities focused at a local sustainable level. Therefore this book evaluates how the pandemic and economic decline affects ethical and responsible tourism - the type of tourism which sustains and develops local communities in a balanced way for the benefit of future generations. It reflects on the position the authors established in "Ethical & Responsible Tourism - managing sustainability in local tourism destinations" and then determines how ethically and responsibly focused tourism may adapt, develop and maintain safety for consumers in the post-virus world. This book will be essential reading for students, researchers and practitioners of tourism, environmental and sustainability studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism is a fast-growing and changing industry, which has become a driver of economic development in both developed and underdeveloped countries. While the tourism industry’s potential for shared value creation and sustainable development is acknowledged, the concerns around the environmental and social pressures remain a challenge for businesses, organizations, and destinations. This is because sustainable tourism arguably conflicts with the predominant neoliberal structure of the economy and with the hierarchical, profit- and consumption-driven societies. The emphasis on competition, growth, and profitability may undermine economic viability itself by consuming unreproducible resources and by undermining the six essential elements—dignity, people, prosperity, social justice, planet, and partnership—that are conceptually linked to sustainable development. The crises recurrently challenging the global travel and tourism environment, including climate change, bushfires, extreme weather disasters, pandemics, and the financial crisis, show the weaknesses of neoliberal approaches and the collective economic dependency of countries on tourism that is vulnerable, if not completely unsustainable. This vulnerability asks for understanding that the collective future depends on developing entirely new approaches and interpretation of tourism to effectively respond to the human, societal, social, and climate challenges. This book offers a novel and original perspective entailing the application of a humanistic management approach to sustainable tourism, which is centered on the value of human life, the protection of human dignity and the promotion of well-being. Multiple theoretical approaches, methods, and practical cases, on an international scale, shed light on shared value creation and human dignity as a necessary condition for its achievement in different contexts. Implicitly and explicitly, they respond to the current urgency to implement strategies to recover from the worldwide impact of the pandemic crisis and to provide a vision of what tourism could and should be when it recovers. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, professionals, and postgraduates in the fields of management, sustainability, and tourism development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the world's islands are dependent on tourism as their main source of income. It is therefore imperative that these destinations are managed for long-term viability. The natural appeal of a destination is typically one of its main tourism related assets, yet the natural environment is also the feature most directly threatened by potential overexploitation. Sustainable Tourism in Island Destinations builds on existing literature in the subject by providing innovative discussions and practical management structures through the use of the authors' various island project work. An original feature is the focus on islands which are part of larger nations, rather than just on island sovereign states. Through an illustrated case study approach, the book focuses on the successes and challenges islands face in achieving sustainable tourism. The authors put forward innovative mechanisms such as multi-stakeholder partnerships and incentive-driven non-regulatory approaches as ways that the sustainability agenda can move forward in destinations that face specific challenges due to their geography and historic development. The case studies - from Canada, St Kitts, Honduras, China, Indonesia, Spain, Tanzania and Thailand - provide the foundation which suggests that alternative approaches to tourism development are possible if they retain sustainability as a priority.
