“…Sustainability principles refer to the environmental, economic and socio-cultural aspects of tourism development, and a suitable balance must be established between these three dimensions to guarantee long-term sustainability (UNEP, 2005;dos Anjos and Kennell, 2019). In the wider general business environment, the three P's (Planet, People and Profit) approach to sustainability are widely known.…”

“…This corporatist, neo-liberal approach to governance has, though, been criticised (Hall, 2011;Ruhanen et al, 2010). Nevertheless, the importance of effective governance in achieving sustainable tourism has been underlined (dos Anjos & Kennell, 2019;Nunkoo, 2017). Torres-Delgado and Palomeque (2012) argue that it is the fourth component balancing its environmental, social and economic ones, the 'missing link' to sustainability.…”

“…Good governance can make a significant contribution to sustainable development by democratising policymaking through wide participation and ensuring the appropriate institutional arrangements are in place (Bramwell, 2010;Bramwell & Lane, 2011). Research on destination governance has looked at the shift in public policy towards governance and its complex role, the role of networks, and the changing role of destination management organisations (DMOs) (dos Anjos & Kennell, 2019). This research has been done from two distinct disciplinary perspectives: a corporate management research approach and a political science one (Adu-Ampong, 2019).…”

Governance and complexity have increasingly become subjects of interest within research on sustainable tourism. Governance has been marked by a turn to more corporatist and networked policymaking structures. At the same time, the use of the concept of complexity in research on tourism destinations and governance is gaining momentum in an effort to address the links in increasingly networked systems as well as the interrelatedness of the multiple features of a tourist destination. Meanwhile, resilience has emerged as a new buzzword in research on sustainable development and governance which denotes the ability of a destination to cope with and adapt to change. This article reviews the literature on destination governance to identify critical issues and trends, and discusses the relevance of complexity approaches. Evolutionary studies and research on resilience in a sustainability context are becoming part of this discussion. The review sheds light on the limitations and merits of each of these concepts, as well as on their nexus. The article concludes with some key areas for future research on destination governance. The aim of the review is to contribute to conceptual clarity and to advance the application of complexity approaches in research on destination governance.

“…Indeed, there are major gaps in the research on tourism in these areas, such as the impact it causes, the management carried out in them, or other aspects of a predominantly tourist nature such as visitor satisfaction [20]. This reveals that these areas need specific governance models [21] which compatibilize the protection of existing ecosystems and their tourist exploitation in such a way as to encourage sustainability [22,23] by means of suitable tourist policies [24][25][26]. In essence, what is pursued is encouragement of the green economy from these places [27] by offering solutions based on nature itself in order to achieve sustainable development [28].…”

Protected Areas as a Center of Attraction for Visits from World Heritage Cities: Extremadura (Spain)

Conservation of the environment has become a key factor in tourist development, as is shown by the increase in visitors to natural parks and other places with rich ecosystems. Protected areas have become polarised centers for tourists of very varied characteriztics, not only for those who make them their main destination, but also for those who travel to nearby areas. This situation can be observed in Extremadura, where numerous tourists make the best use of their stay in the main centers of tourist attractions of the region to make local trips and thus get to know the most significant natural areas. These movements are being detected in varied aspects of demand, sometimes with little connection between the main and secondary motivation for the trip. We therefore consider a variable percentage of tourists visiting the main cultural destinations of Extremadura who use part of their stay to get to know protected areas. With the aim of structuring the research, we made a systematic study of tourists who spent the night in the cities of Cáceres and Mérida, which are World Heritage sites. During their stay, they visited prestigious natural places such as Monfragüe National Park, the Villuercas–Ibores–Jara Geopark, the Tajo Internacional Nature Reserve, and the Garganta de los Infiernos Nature Reserve. This information was obtained by carrying out surveys, which allowed us to determine the attraction capacity of each protected area by applying a network analysis. The results reflect a heterogeneous type of visitor who travels to the most appreciated areas following guidelines marked by the time of the year, his/her preferences, and the duration of his/her trip.
