“…First, the scientific approach is generally intended to amass a large quantity of information to maximize precision (Miller, 2001;Choi and Sarakaya, 2006;Tasser et al, 2008;Niemeijer and de Groot, 2008;Hickey and Innes, 2008). Often, the result is a scientifically valid grid that is poorly received by decision makers owing to its complexity (Hunter, 1997).…”

“…In contrast, the approach based on a quest for political census creates a bias in the development of indicators and introduces subjectivity decried by scientists. The content and priorities of the indicators thus reflect the affiliations of the actors involved in the process (Hunter, 1997). In the alternative approach, the formulation of indicators becomes a process of knowledge production with a scientific foundation, combined with the setting of a political and operational standard (Rametsteiner et al, 2011) that facilitates the recognition and scientific and social legitimacy of the indicators.…”

“…These tools are considered essential means of accounting for unexpected outcomes and measuring the consequences of action or inaction (Boulanger, 2004;Bell and Morse, 2008). In sustainable tourism, their main objective is to offer a global assessment of the link between nature and society, to help decision makers evaluate actions to undertake or not, and thus orient tourism and related activities toward sustainable development (Hunter, 1997).…”

This article describes the creation of a grid of sustainable tourism indicators, specifically the strategy adopted by the Gaspésie and Îles de la Madeleine regions of Québec. First, a list of indicators recognized by experts, which systematically cover the dimensions of sustainable tourism, was compiled. In the second step, the indicators were coordinated with the sustainable tourism policy framework of each region, to operationalize the indicators while preserving their validity. This two-step strategy led to identification of a list of recognized and measurable sustainable tourism indicators consistent with the tourism policy of each region. This approach thus minimizes the risks of instrumentalization of the concept of sustainable tourism, and guarantees the validity of the assessment and follow-up approaches in this area.

“…Ces derniers sont reconnus comme des moyens de communication essentiels en vue de rendre compte des changements et d'entrevoir les conséquences de l'action ou de l'inaction (Boulanger, 2004;Bell et Morse, 2008). En matière de tourisme durable, ils ont comme objectif principal d'offrir une évaluation globale du lien entre la nature et la société, et ce, afin d'assister les déci-deurs dans l'appréciation des actions à entreprendre ou non pour s'assurer de mener le tourisme et les activités y afférentes vers un développement durable (Hunter, 1997).…”

Cet article traite de l’élaboration d’une grille d’indicateurs de tourisme durable en présentant la stratégie adoptée par les régions de la Gaspésie et des Îles de la Madeleine, au Québec. Une première étape établit une liste d’indicateurs reconnus par les experts et couvrant systématiquement les dimensions du tourisme durable. Une deuxième étape permet de coordonner ces indicateurs à la politique-cadre de tourisme durable de chacune des régions, de façon à les rendre opérationnels sans en réduire la validité. Cette stratégie en deux étapes permet d’identifier une liste d’indicateurs de tourisme durable reconnus, mesurables et cohérents avec la politique touristique de chaque région. Une telle stratégie contribue ainsi à minimiser les risques d’instrumentalisation du concept de tourisme durable et à garantir la validité des démarches d’évaluation et de suivi en la matière

While sustainable development is recognized as an essential requirement for achieving economic goals without degrading the environment, major problems arise in defining methods for formulating and implementing sustainable strategic actions at the macro‐level, including islands. Bearing in mind this limitation, this research paper will attempt to present a strategic planning methodology for drawing up strategic issues for tourism development from the point of view of sustainability, which is particularly appropriate to islands. The authors first review existing literature on sustainable development with a view to defining a conceptual approach to sustainability and identifying particular areas for sustainable tourism development in the island context. A methodology for formulating strategic issues for sustainable tourism development in Gran Canaria is then drawn up. Sociocultural aspects, the environment and the economy, with particular emphasis on tourism, are examined in order to identify major strategic issues for sustainable development in Gran Canaria.
