Providing a wide range of case studies in sustainable tourism planning, this authoritative work, in paperback for the first time, presents cases at both international and national levels, as well as on regional, sub-regional, urban, local and site scales. It covers tourism areas as diverse as historic cities, pilgrimages, coastal planning and festivals. Drawing upon the author's world-wide experience and with contributions from professionals in the field, this book takes a comparative and evaluative approach to the subject. With case studies relating to different economic, political and temporal issues, this book examines established initiatives both in the context of the standards of the time and from a modern perspective looking back, providing both short and long term evaluations. With a solid emphasis on sustainability, this unique collection is an essential resource for tourism planners, developers, researchers and students.
