“…The environmental management refers to the system that includes the organizational structure, the responsibilities, policies, practices, procedures, processes and resources meant to achieve and maintain a specific environmental behavior that can reduce the impact caused by daily operations of establishments on the natural environment. Thus, the preferred EP means the minimization of the negative repercussions on the natural environment that stem from the character of daily production activities and relations in the service industries (Welford and Ytterhus, 2004). The EP was assessed through the evaluation of environmental management practices adopted in the sector.…”

“…According to Caalders (1997), Cottrell and Cutumisu [39,40] good communication among the various stakeholders locally and regionally is essential to build consensus and collaborative partnerships for the development and implementation of sustainable tourism management. However, it is argued that the current management of tourism in many protected areas globally displays a lack of public participation [41,42].…”

The paper analyses the sustainable development of tourism in selected cities located in Turkey and in Poland. The starting point for the conducted research was the adoption of indicators used to assess the sustainable development of tourism in the cities of Amasya (Turkey) and Zakopane (Poland). Ultimately, the authors used slightly modified indicators developed by the Voluntary Initiative for Sustainability in Tourism (VISIT). The studies demonstrated that in Amasya the development of tourism is quite stable and revealed quite a lot of deficiencies in Zakopane. Sustainable development was assessed as poor in terms of environmental obligations, in particular waste water management solutions and municipal waste management as well as in terms of water consumption. The research revealed that some of the indicators were not recorded in central statistical offices, which hindered the assessment considerably. This refers mainly to indicators related to social and cultural considerations. In general, the results are rather surprising, as the analysis revealed significant differences in the development of technological infrastructure and land use intensity. Unfortunately, in these aspects, Zakopane seems to have lost the competition.

“…Dredge et al ( p.108) portray destination management as the ‘strategies and practices that promote balanced, sustainable administration of the destination’; that is, strategies and practices (functions) are linked to the attainment of a particular goal. Similarly, Welford and Ytterhus () relate goal attainment to organizational matters, while ROS Development and Planning S.L. () outlines the advantages and disadvantages of bringing all destination management functions together in a single organization or assigning specialized functions to several different ones.…”

This paper addresses questions related to the multiple objectives, actions and actors in destination management in Chile. The relationships between these variables in Valparaíso, Los Ríos and Aysén are analysed through a series of matrices, which draw on information contained in tourism and territorial plans and strategies. The current approach emphasizes supply‐side development by many actors and multiple actions. The pattern running throughout the multiplicity of objectives, actions and actors and summarized in a model is that of a common core with complementary variations and a series of main and secondary linkages. The implications of this pattern are then discussed. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
