“…Tourism is an economic reality and plays an important role in the governance structure of many countries. This has contributed to the importance of sustainable and unsustainable development -environmentally, socially, and economically [1]. Tourists have different propensities to visit certain places and travel patterns are influenced by where they reside.…”

“…According to Dinica [1], public officials oversee a large number of policy domains that influence how tourism develops, such as spatial planning, infrastructural development, fiscal policies, transport policies, labour policies, and water management. Public officials also hold the main responsibility for projected tourism growth for sustainable and unsustainable development with policies that influence conservation, such as nature and environmental protection, cultural heritage, waste management, and energy efficiency [1,3]. Governance for tourism requires relevant policy making decisions associated with strategic plans.…”

Modelling for tourism must start with a strong foundation of strategic planning and understanding of the specific areas of tourism life cycles, which will result in an increase of local revenues, tax income, employment, and conservation of local ecosystems. This is a descriptive research design with the objective to develop a tourism flow model that takes information from tourism data-sets, business surveys, and state and local projects and builds a picture of current and future tourism flows in Brevard County (the Space Coast), Florida. This tourism model will serve as a tool for gauging tourism on the Space Coast. The question that must be addressed is that the model must answer the problems of how strategic planning initiatives will fill the void between anticipated workplace downsizing and the subsequent reduction of tourist activity, with the approaching retirement of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) shuttle fleet. It is forecasted that more than a quarter of a million workers may suffer job losses in hospitality, manufacturing, business services, and aerospace along the Space Coast. This tourism flow model would be an analysis tool for Space Coast tourism stakeholders to understand the impact of tourism growth and the development of sustainable and unsustainable industries for the area. Next, the model will attempt to identify areas from both private and public investments necessary for high impact revenue results for the Space Coast, while preserving the historic local environment and culture. Lastly, the model will be used to facilitate decisionmaking and planning for government planning boards, and the various tourism committees and councils as to where to invest and adopt pro-active polices for resource allocation in the county. The conclusion of the study will be a practical tourism flow model, which can be used to provide for rigorous discussion.

“…This agenda has shaped the design of sustainable tourism strategies in many countries, with varying degrees of success. However, there is limited research on the implementation of these strategies and their evaluation in individual countries (Dinica, 2008(Dinica, , 2009, and even less at a supranational level.…”

Promoting sustainability from above: reflections on the influence of the European Union on tourism governance

Due to the long-standing absence of direct and legally binding competencies in tourism, European Union (EU) tourism policy has mainly influenced tourism governance through indirect interventions and non-binding instruments (Anastasiadou, 2006, 2008a, b; Halkier, 2010). For example, in October 2007 the European Commission adopted its ‘Agenda for a sustainable and competitive European tourism’ (European Commission, 2007). This communication proposed measures aimed at complementing the EU policy interventions that have consequences for tourism and its sustainability throughout Europe. However, its overall impact on tourism structures has been miniscule; instead, impact on tourism governance has come from elsewhere.

“…It can thus be concluded that innovative collaboration between public administrations and private companies that manage tourist products (PPP) has resulted in numerous research cases, and that an increasing number of researchers (Caffyn and Jobbins 2003;Velasco 2007;Dinica 2009;Beaumont and Dredge 2010;Dredge and Whitford 2011;Moscardo 2011;Hultman and Hall 2012) defend the greater participation of residents and other stakeholders in sustainable local tourism development, defined by the UNWTO (2005) as ''Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities. '' In light of the importance of Spanish tourism on a national and European scale, we focus on the efforts of one town to develop a public private partnership model that can be replicated in other contexts as a driver of the development of services than can enhance the possibility of local development in tourism.…”

This research proposes a framework for collaborative innovation in a public private partnership by applying techniques that combine quantitative data collection and qualitative depth. It proposes a collaborative model that looks to provide competitive advantage by improving tourist services from two perspectives: from the core of public administration, and from the private tourist sector perspective.
