“…Our examination of the literature also indicates that some important parameters are under-represented and poorly addressed in tourism research. For example, governance (institutional arrangements) has been mentioned by Bramwell [98], Roberts and Tribe [96] and Pukhakka, Cottrell and Siikamaki [97], with specific reference to sustainable tourism. García-Melón, Gómez-Navarro and Acuña-Dutra [101] mentioned government as a political/administrative dimension.…”

“…However, there are some like [27,28,[96][97][98][99][100][101]112] who find institutional mechanism/governance/political administrative aspects to be critical for the success of ST/CBT and other alternative forms of tourism, such as ecotourism, rural tourism, responsible tourism, etc. Siow May, Abidin, Nair, Ramachandran and Shuib also recommended institutional framework criteria under the socio-cultural dimension [95] (p. 149).…”

An Integrated Approach to “Sustainable Community-Based Tourism”

Two rich knowledge domains have been evolving along parallel pathways in tourism studies: sustainable tourism (ST) and community-based tourism (CBT). Within both lie diverse definitions, principles, criteria, critical success factors and benefits sought or outcomes desired, advocated by different stakeholders ranging from quasi-governmental and non-profit organizations to public-private sector and academic interests. This poses significant challenges to those interested in theory building, research and practice in the sustainable development and management of tourism. The paper builds on a previous article published in Sustainability by presenting an integrated framework based on a comprehensive, in-depth review and analysis of the tourism-related literature. The study reveals not just common ground and differences that might be anticipated, but also important sustainability dimensions that are lagging or require much greater attention, such as equity, justice, ethical and governance issues. A preliminary framework of "sustainable community-based tourism" (SCBT) is forwarded that attempts to bridge the disparate literature on ST and CBT. Critical directions forward are offered to progress research and sustainability-oriented practices towards more effective development and management of tourism in the 21st century.

“…A greater entity (a whole PA, covering seven counties and represented by local people and regional government stakeholders) can generate benefits, leveraging the possibility of developing an independent image (Gartner, 1993) (Bramwell, 2011;Byrd, 2007).…”

This study relates to the management of recreation and tourism in protected areas (PAs) and reflects a case study developed in the Natural Park of Serras de Aire e Candeeiros. Through the perceptions of stakeholders, the objective was to contribute to the definition of this PA destination's image. Mixed methods were used, employing the triangulation of data and samples.We found a connection between tangible and intangible factors in the Natural Park of Serras de Aire e Candeeiros image, as well as the main factors that characterize this PA. We advocate that a more complete understanding of stakeholder profiles is an important aspect beyond processual features in defining destination image.

“…2. Bramwell (2011), zabývající se vlivem státu na cestovní ruch, uvádí, že výzkumy v oblasti destination governance by měly více využívat sociálních teorií. Tento přístup může podle Bramwella (2011) nabídnout lepší pohled na okolnosti státních intervencí, které ovlivňují cestovní ruch a udržitelnost v destinacích.…”

Anotace Problematika tourism destination governance (vládnutí turistické destinaci) je v zahraničí aktuálním tématem a stává se předmětem řady výzkumů. Koncept tourism destination governance v zásadě rozšiřuje teorii destinačního managementu (Bieger, 1996;Bratl a Schmidt, 1998;Ritchie a Crouch, 2003, Holešinská, 2012 (Bieger, 1996;Bratl and Schmidt, 1998;Ritchie and Crouch, 2003;Holešinská, 2012), which is based on cooperation and relationships between stakeholders, which are examined by the theory of inter-organisational cooperation (Alter and Hage, 1993). The network theory is not able to capture in detail the nature and source of interaction, and therefore the focal point is the concept of destination governance that applied the corporate governance theory (Beritelli, Bieger and Laesser, 2007;Nordin and Svensson, 2007;Baggio, Scott and Cooper, 2010;Pechlaner, Volgger and Herntrei, 2012). The paper reviews foreign theoretical knowledge and approaches to tourism destination governance and summarizes the utilized methods. Moreover, the concept of tourism destination governance is presented in the context of the institutional line of regional development theory.
