Adapting to Social, Political and Economic Change

Produktbeschreibung

In a world that is increasingly divided and faced with global environmental crisis, resilience has become a key concept with great relevance to tourism. This book signals a paradigmatic shift in long term tourism development planning, moving away from the dominant focus on sustainability towards a focus on resilience planning. It provides a critical appraisal of sustainability and resilience and the relationship between the two. Contributions highlight the complexity of social change with resilience planning in a range of tourism contexts. From the case studies provided, important lessons can be drawn as to how to deal with increasingly unstable economic, social and environmental systems.
