SUSTAINABLE TOURISM MANAGEMENT

This book is presented as a response to the increasingly urgent need to create tourism that not only provides economic benefits, but also maintains environmental and social balance in the long term. In recent decades, the rapid growth of tourism has brought major changes to various destinations around the world, but unfortunately many have experienced environmental and social pressures as a consequence. Therefore, the concept of sustainable tourism is very important to study and practice. This book was prepared to provide comprehensive insight into sustainable tourism management, from basic concepts to its application in policy, destination management, marketing and technological innovation. We hope that this book can become a reference for practitioners, academics, students and policy makers in the tourism sector who are committed to realizing more environmentally friendly and socially responsible tourism. In preparing this book, we outlined the role of each party in the sustainable tourism ecosystem, from the government, community, private sector, to visitors or tourists themselves. Apart from that, this book also presents various case studies from destinations that have successfully implemented sustainable principles, so that they can serve as inspiration and practical reference for readers. In each chapter, we strive to present the latest theory and practice in the hope of providing a broader and deeper view of sustainable tourism management.
