Book excerpt: New types of tourism and increased frequency of holidays have serious environmental impacts at regional and local level, and Europe is already facing environmental problems related to tourism density, particularly in areas where tourism is heavily concentrated (coasts, mountain, lake areas, and the most visited cities). Construction has increased environmental pressure on land, climate change is altering the conditions for the use of tourism resources, the increasing presence of visitors has effects on biodiversity and can cause habitat deterioration, and tourism activities use resources such as water and energy intensively. All these negative impacts must be managed, both by destination managers and by the tourism sector in order to ensure the viability of their activities and businesses in the long term.
Book Synopsis Tourism in the New Europe by : Rhodri Thomas
Download or read book Tourism in the New Europe written by Rhodri Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-01-18 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book represents a state of the art review of key research on small firms in tourism in relation to European integration. It is, therefore, an essential resource for those engaged in research relating to tourism SMEs in transitional economies throughout the world. In addition, it is an essential purchase for the increasing number of students studying modules on small businesses as part of their final year undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes. One of the key features of this book is its clear focus on breaking new ground by reporting recent research and theorising on small firms in tourism. In many cases, the analysis provided by contributors will carefully relate small business behaviour to issues of wider concern to tourism academics and policy-makers. It is also distinctive for its overt emphasis on contrasting European experiences. These characteristics contrast with the existing literature on small firms in tourism and hospitality, particularly in Europe. Previous literature achieved their aims by providing valuable syntheses of existing literature. Now that such 'taking of stock' has been undertaken, there is a demand for more overtly research-based texts that are nevertheless accessible to a wide audience. This book does exactly that.

Book excerpt: Tourism is the third largest economic activity in the EU and the sector continues to grow. Although it has a broadly positive impact on economic growth and employment, it is also a resource-intensive industry that leaves a big footprint on the environment. Apart from tourism's substantial contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions, major challenges for the sector include excessive water consumption, discharge of untreated water, generation of waste, degradation of land and ecosystems, and damage to local terrestrial and marine biodiversity. But with strategic environmental management systems, tour operators, destinations and accommodation facilities are becoming increasingly sustainable. Already about 300 hotels, camping grounds, nature reserves and other leisure and accommodation facilities in Europe are using EMAS to improve their environmental performance. Among them are such prestigious names as the Ritz Carlton and Scandic hotels in Berlin and educational tours operator Studiosus. Protecting the natural resources and biodiversity that are the basis for most tourism products and services pays financially, ensures the long-term success of tourism operations and is an indispensable marketing tool nowadays.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Tourism as a Factor of Cohesion Among European Regions by : Committee of the Regions
Download or read book Sustainable Tourism as a Factor of Cohesion Among European Regions written by Committee of the Regions and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress towards sustainable tourism has become imperative in the European Union. The tourism industry has grown to massive proportions in the last decade and so has its environmental impact. Since tourism is after all an economic activity, a better management of tourism is not only necessary to mitigate its negative effects on the environment, but also to minimise the potential conflict with other economic activities. Tourism also promotes intercultural relations and mutual understanding and is widely recognized as a mjor opportunity for enhancing the territorial cohesion within Europe. Sustainable tourism can support and drive the territorial cohesion towards a harmonious and balanced development of Europe. It has a high potential to enhance cohesion among regions because it fosters the promotion of identity of each region and the sharing of the diverse European natural and cultural heritages, traditions and languages.

Book Synopsis Tourism Development in Europe by : World Tourism Organization
Download or read book Tourism Development in Europe written by World Tourism Organization and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication contains the proceedings of two UNWTO conferences on "Tourism: a Tool for Sustainable Development in Transitional Economies", held in Belgrade on 20-21 June 2005, and "Impact of European Union Enlargement on Tourism Development in Europe", held in Vilnius, on 1-2 March 2006. There is an overlap between economies in transition and the group of countries that joined the European Union in 2004 and, from the perspective of tourism development, a large group of European countries share similar challenges and opportunities. While Europe is the region that receives the largest number of international tourists and registers the highest amount of receipts from international tourism, there is a great difference between traditional destinations with a long history of tourism development and the countries that recovered independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Some countries already undertook major reforms in their political and economic spheres while others are still addressing structural issues inherited from the past. Tourism contributes positively to European integration and at the same time its success depends on the development and modernisation of several economic and social sectors.
