Tourism is the world’s fastest growing industry, and impacts globally upon
ecology, economies, peoples, cultures and the built environment.
Development, therefore, must be sustainable and sympathetic in order to
preserve the environment and culture it exploits. Despite sustainable
tourism being an area of considerable recent interest, there has been no
synthesis of the diverse considerations of sustainable tourism, and the
language and terms particular to this subject. An important resource for
researchers of tourism, this reference work defines and explains terms
associated with considering and preserving the environment, host peoples,
communities, cultures, customs, lifestyles and social and economic systems.
