The concept of ecotourism evolves differently in developing and developed nations due to which the basic principles of ecotourism are in question. The existing literature on ecotourism suggests ambiguity in conceptual understanding of ecotourism. Due to this qualm, ecotourism is evolving into various forms. Different stakeholders with varying objectives related to ecotourism make it further difficult to form the consensus on what constitutes ecotourism. Without the clear understanding of ecotourism, it is difficult to evolve ethics on which the ecotourism principles are based. The focus of this research is to find out the principle components or themes of ecotourism using a content analysis for the development of ecotourism policy and applications. This study identified six key components of ecotourism which are widely accepted by researchers and could be used to shape the fundamental understanding of ecotourism. These themes are: (1) Nature oriented travel; (2) Support of conservat...

Considers the ecotourism market and its rate of growth and identifies important factors expected to influence the size of this market. Global threats to sustainable ecotourism are highlighted. Definitions of ecotourism are considered and doubts are expressed about the value of normative definitions. Factors likely to influence the sustainability of ecotourism are discussed. The most important are its economics, the extent to which ecotourism is consistent with conserving its resource-base, its social acceptability and its political feasibility. These compatibility aspects of ecotourism are closely linked to sustainability aspects and often call for government intervention in tourism management and development. Considerable attention is given to carrying capacity as a guide to sustainable ecotourism development as well as the difficulties in using the concept in practice. The management of ecotourism on the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha in Brazil provides an interesting example of attempts to manage ecotourism sustainably.

5 Sustainable Tourism Books You Must Read

Sustainable tourism aims to simultaneously serve the needs of tourists and host communities, protecting and expanding opportunities for the future . To promote sustainable tourism is to manage all the resources involved in tourism, in such a way that economic, social and environmental needs can be met without neglecting the maintenance of cultural integrity, essential ecological processes, biological diversity and the systems that guarantee the life. In this light, this article gives you 5 books you absolutely must read in order to understand sustainable tourism.

1. Sustainable Tourism Management, by John Swarbrooke

This book is the product of the concept of sustainable development, and it has attracted international attention because it is a reaction to the problems generated by the practice of “ predatory tourism “, which has caused so much damage to the environmental, historical and cultural heritage of several countries.

2. Consumer Behavior in Tourism: An International Perspective, by Susan Horner and John Swarbrooke

This work is essential for students, tourism professionals and tourists in general and not just for the reflection that the title itself provokes. The authors also make a complete survey of the continents and their attractions as well as the cultural differences between them. For these reasons, this book becomes an essential tool to understand the rapid transformations of this valuable market to update your information and ideal to optimize your infinite opportunities.

3. Sustainable Tourism in Island Destinations, by Sonya Graci and Rachel Dodds

Building on existing literature on the topic, this book offers creative discussions and realistic management frameworks through the use of various island design works outlined by the authors. Most of the world’s islands depend on tourism as their principal source of income. For long-term sustainability it is therefore imperative that such destinations are handled. The natural beauty of a destination is usually one of its key tourism-related properties, but the natural environment is perhaps the resource most directly affected by possible overexploitation.

4. Overbooked: The Exploding Business of Travel and Tourism, by Elizabeth Becker

This book explains that excess reservations are a reality of the economy of tourism, and how it impacts various countries. Each chapter is grouped according to a theme and a given country is highlighted as a case study within each theme. The outcome is an easy-to-read book that doesn’t appear to be packed with too much detail.

5. Taking Responsibility for Tourism, by Harold Goodwin

Goodwin’s book is about the vitally significant global need for sustainable tourism. To those who plan to travel, and for those who consume, this is an incredibly significant obstacle. This is the most comprehensive contemporary analysis of the key issues crucial to the advancement of responsible tourism and has been written by one of the leading thinkers responsible for reforms in the sector. It extends the wider definition of travel and tourism obligation and analyzes how it relates to sustainable business and transparency business case.

If, on the one hand, predatory tourism can lead to the depletion of natural resources, as well as cultural de-characterization and social imbalance, sustainable tourism is composed of the same pillars of sustainable development: economic efficiency, social justice and ecological prudence.

In addition, sustainable tourism aims to strengthen tourism activity in the long term, based on environmental and cultural preservation that qualifies the tourist destination , generating permanent social benefits .

It is up to us, as travelers, businessmen, leaders or authorities, to think about how we can promote tourism that contributes to the well-being , quality of life and appreciation of the culture of the communities, environmental balance and preservation and the economic sustainability of both small and big entrepreneurs.
