Tracking the concept of sustainability in Australian tourism policy and planning documents

Resilience and sustainability: a complementary relationship? Towards a practical conceptual model for the sustainability–resilience nexus in tourism

“…We also ask if "resilience" may usurp sustainability in the discourse of tourism business enterprise or if resilience can be accommodated as an increasingly important part of the sustainability discourse. While some scholars have implied that resilience may be a new way to conceptualise sustainability (Carpenter, Walker, Anderies, & Abel, 2001;Lew, 2014;McCool et al, 2013;Miller et al, 2010;Moyle, McLennan, Ruhanen, & Weiler, 2014;Strickland-Munro et al, 2010;Walker et al, 2004), we propose that the two concepts deviate in important ways which, in the interests of both theory and practice, need to be critically explored.…”

The role of institutions in the production of space for tourism: National Forest Parks in China

“…First, the documents were reviewed by an independent party to determine whether the information collected was relevant to NFPs. Second, following an approach by Moyle et al, (2014a) a select sample of articles was manually scrutinized for relevance to national forest parks. A two tiered process was used to systematically analyze the documents collected (Ritchie and Spencer, 2002).…”

An Entropy-Perspective Study on the Sustainable Development Potential of Tourism Destination Ecosystem in Dunhuang, China

“…Moyle and McLennan noted that the frequency of occurrence of sustainability as a concept has slightly increased in strategies over the past decade. At the same time, there has been a shift in the conceptualisation of sustainability, with thinking evolving from nature-based, social and triple bottom line concepts toward a focus on climate change, responsibility, adaption and transformation [20]; (b) The indicators of ST [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41], for example, McElroy constructed a "Composite Tourism Penetration Index" from per capita visitor spending, daily visitor densities per 1000 population and hotel rooms per square kilometer. They tested it on 20 small Caribbean islands and yielded three levels of increasing penetration [26].…”

“…Particularly, their research focus on the following contents [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]: (a) The concept of ST [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], for example, Hunter suggested that the concept of ST be redefined in terms of an over-arching paradigm which incorporates a range of approaches to the tourism/environment system within destination areas [13]. Swarbrooke [14] and Aall [17] noted that ST is not just about protecting the environment; it is also concerned with economic viability and social justice, and a suitable balance must be established between these three dimensions to guarantee its long-term sustainability.…”
