“…The new policy was labelled "use and preserve". This environmentally based discourse on tourism revolves around how to balance use and protection of nature in a sustainable way which preserves both natural and socio-cultural capital, but also satisfies the needs of tourists (Farell 1992, Hunter 1997, Ko 2001. Even if this act of balance exists in overarching views, e.g.…”

Human view on nature has fluctuated over time, depending on contemporary knowledge and beliefs. In recent centuries, the view has shifted from an instrumental to an existential apprehension of nature. This development has contributed to the emergence of nature-based tourism. By using nature-based tourism as an example, we explore trends and tendencies concerning use and views of nature. Today, it is regarded politically correct to consider nature based on ethical standpoints deriving from scientific research results, which have been addressed as cornerstones to cope with negative anthropogenic effects on nature. However, concurrently with the emerging existentialism and individualism in society, these ethical standpoints have been questioned, which can potentially create a trend where people act against political correctness. We explore how this affects the human view on nature, and debate the emergence of a trend towards a more individualistic consumptive naturebased tourism, called ego-tourism, as well as how this trend may affect tourism and wildlife conservation.

“…Some studies focusing on the sustainability of the tourism sector have highlighted initiatives aimed at satisfying current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [14,15]. From this perspective, balancing economic growth, conservation of environmental resources, and development is critical at local destination levels [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. However, several examples of tourism destination management, discussed in the literature, have fallen short of adhering to the principles of sustainability [27][28][29].…”

An Assessment of the Implementation of the European Tourism Indicator System for Sustainable Destinations in Italy

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The European Tourism Indicators System (ETIS) is a product of the European Union (EU) Sustainable Development Strategy, which was formulated with the objectives of promoting economic prosperity, social equity, cohesion, and environmental protection. In this paper, we present an analysis of the results of the implementation of the ETIS during the period 2013–2016, in the Italian tourist destination of South Sardinia. While the implementation of ETIS constitutes a significant advancement in Italy, and more widely in Europe, our findings reveal that an adaptive management approach is necessary for achieving the anticipated objectives and adapting these standardized indicators to different territorial contexts. Difficulties were encountered in both data collection and stakeholders’ involvement in the implementation process. Insufficient knowledge, and familiarity with the complex technical aspects of the indicator toolkit among primary stakeholders, was another constraint associated with its implementation. We believe that the findings of this analysis can provide guidelines and inputs for other European countries and tourist destinations that are currently in the process of implementing the ETIS toolkit or similar methodologies. In particular, the pioneering sustainable tourism performance measurement system (STPMS) can be adapted to meet local needs.

“…1992: Boo, 1992). Contributing to the formation of this travel segment is a disillusionment with impacts of resort-style tourism in places such as Waikiki in the US, Costa Brava in Spain, and the Gold Coast in Australia (Farrell, 1992). The response of the travel industry has been to cultivate various segments of an environmentally-aware market (e.g.…”

Ecotourism and commodification: protecting people and places

1996

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The ability of ecotourism to protect both people and places is an unresolved, and growing, concern. Commodification of host culture and environment is a widely reported social impact of tourism and spawns an array of implications regarding indigenous people's view of their places and themselves. The degree of impact from ecotourism development is related to the degree of market development within the indigenous community and their state of decline regarding natural resource scarcity. Pre-existing power differentials between local people and other groups may be exacerbated by ecotourism development. To protect both people and their places, native people's claim to control should be legitimized by conservation and government authorities, particularly indigenous people's role in technical management of the protected area. Regional and national government controls are relevant at the inception of ecotourism development, but ultimately should be reduced to one of infrastructure planning and coordination.
