“…Furthermore, the systematic complexity has expanded continuity in tourism from physical environmental sustainability to many other dimensions (Shen, Hughey, & Simmons, ; Spangenberg, ), because tourism as an exotic experience is not merely the interaction between humans and natural resources but the interaction between guests and entire host communities (Smith, ). At the very beginning, the minimization of negative tourism impacts on physical environment has been the main focus (Hunter, ).…”

To promote knowledge creation and transfer, this study adopts a modernism‐based interpretation to reduce the conceptual vagueness and the terminological confusion of sustainable tourism. On the basis of the intensional definition techniques, namely, etymology and genus‐and‐differentia, the precising and theoretical definition of sustainable tourism was constructed. Specifically, sustainable tourism was identified as a resource‐concerned tourism development ethic with human needs for growth, ideology for continuity, and global context as main constructs. This conceptual framework levels up sustainable tourism as a tourism development concern rather than a specific tourism form, thereby contributing to consistent communication in both academia and practices.

“…Nevertheless, mountain tourism has been facing a number of global challenges for its sustainable development [4,5]. Such challenges namely; [1] managing dynamic growth, [2] global warming and climate change, [3] poverty alleviation, [6] support for conservation and [7] health, safety, and security largely threaten the sustainability of this (mountain) tourism. Among the five key challenges, global warming and its induced climate change have emerged as one of the greatest global challenges in general and also to sustainable development of the UN Millennium Development Goals in particular.…”

Abstract:The construction of real estate has the potential to advance sustainability in terms of meeting economic and social criteria-the Business Case and the Societal Case. This is a crucial aspect in the stated visions and plans in many developing countries. Hence, it is important to understand how real estate can best contribute. Semi-structured interviews with a number of decision-makers involved in the real estate sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain were undertaken to explore perceptions of how the sector could best contribute to sustainable development. The decision-makers came from government bodies, investment banks, real estate developers, investors, constructors, project consultants and auditors. The interviews highlight the importance of having a stated vision and strategy which is highly visible and shared by all stakeholders. In the case of Bahrain this is Vision 2030 and the National Economic Strategy. It is important to ensure that any plans that are put in place to achieve the vision/strategy are adaptable to reflect changes in the external environment. The decision-makers identified three areas of focus in terms of the content of policy in order to meet the economic and social-related sustainability criteria as set out in Vision 2030 and the National Economic Strategy. These are: infrastructure, affordable housing and tourism/leisure. Within these three areas, that of infrastructure is OPEN ACCESS Sustainability 2014, 6 1710 also the key enabler for developments in the other two areas to be realized. In terms of a method of governance, the use of public-private-partnerships (PPPs) was identified as being highly appropriate. Such partnerships are not only useful to leverage private sector investment into specific development projects but also to ensure that such development harnesses innovative and efficient methods.
