Social, economic, and environment sustainability are more than ever hot topics. Because of their importance in this context, we examine how and why traditional markets play such a critical role in local as well as regional development and sustainability, along with their respective effects. We use a single case methodology based on the internationally awarded case of Barcelos (a northern region of Portugal). The main results show that the traditional market of Barcelos plays a critical role in the region, especially with respect to socioeconomic, environmental, and political and administrative effects. To optimize the role and influence of this traditional market, authors suggest the application of artificial intelligence.

“…Multi-stakeholder partnerships to manage common-pool resources (CPRs) are identified as crucial for sustainable development [27,[51][52][53]. Collaboration is a process which takes time and requires effort from all stakeholders to be successful, to build trust, to learn together, and to establish mutual goals [54][55][56]. A fruitful collaboration between actors enhances the capacity of agencies and communities to manage common resources in multifunctional landscapes [57,58].…”

“…In order to build trust between actors, especially when there are disagreements between government agencies and local interests, it is, according to, e.g., Davenport et al [67] and Graci [68], important to focus on building informal relationships and to provide opportunities for repeated interactions. Also, other studies, such as those by Stern [55] and Towner [56], promote the creation of platforms where stakeholders can meet and where representatives of different interests can come together and learn about each other's perspectives, thus promoting increased trust between parties. Communication that builds trust between stakeholders is considered an essential element of conflict resolution regarding disputes over common natural resources in multifunctional landscape [28,54,58].…”

“…In order to even consider and plan for a relocation and restructuring of problematic trails in the study area, a trusting environment among stakeholder groups ensuring that all interests are looked out for has to exist. One means to achieve this is to use an external facilitator trained in communication and conflict management who can guide stakeholders as well as plan practically [56,58,94].…”

Trails are significant features in landscapes, and many ancient pathways have developed into routes of great importance for recreation and tourism in contemporary societies. Nevertheless, international research on recreational trails has hitherto mainly focused on managerial and environmental aspects of trails and less on trails from a social science perspective, such as conflict management. This study explores the role of recreational trails as a potential tool for managing conflicts in a multifunctional landscape. The findings originate from a case study of the southern Jämtland mountain region in Sweden, an area where land-use conflicts exist and where tourism is a major concern. The study examines the recreational trail as an applied example where actors in the mountain landscape “negotiate” and collaborate. Through the recreational trail, dialogue and discussions are made possible among stakeholders. Findings show that trails can function as facilitators for communication and can thus enhance the possibilities of building trust and promoting collaboration between actors. This research contributes to the existing literature on handling multiple land-use interests and adds to previous knowledge by taking on a rather new approach, where the recreational trail becomes a facilitator for communication.

“…Successful tourism development based on sustainability implies the inclusion of all stakeholders involved in the tourism management process (Byrd, 2007;Tomljenović, Boranić Živoder, Marušić, 2013;Towner, 2018). Including different stakeholder groups in tourism development processes can lead to resolving various cultural, social, environmental, economic and political issues affecting the sustainable development of tourism.…”

Purpose -Civil society associations, the most common form of non-profit organizations in Croatia, have a wide range of possibilities for operating in the tourism system and integrating their own activities and goals with the tourism goals of the area in which they operate. Associations engaged in tourism have a broad spectrum of opportunities to raise funds for their activities which, ultimately, helps to enhance their financial stability by increasing the share of their own earned income (self-funding) and reducing the share of public grants, which currently make up the largest share in the income structure of associations in Croatia. The objective and purpose of this paper is to determine to what extent associations (that have an effect on tourism) have recognized the possibilities of raising funds, available to them through tourism system. Methodology: For this purpose, an online survey was conducted among the members of associations in four of the most developed tourism destinations in Croatia according to the tourist traffic data for the last 10 years (Dubrovnik, Rovinj, Poreč, Medulin). The research was conducted on the sample of 205 associations, which, according to their scope of activity, have a direct or indirect impact on tourism. Findings -Based on the conducted research, it is evident that associations operating in tourism fail to use, to any significant extent, certain potentially very effective methods of fundraising and they do not perceive tourists as potential donors and a source of funding. One of the underlying reasons is certainly insufficient knowledge about the possibilities of fundraising in general, and especially about the possibilities of fundraising for associations operating in tourism destinations. Contribution -The contribution of this paper is that it regards associations as part of the tourism system and provides an overview of fundraising opportunities for associations whose activities affect tourism.
