'This textbook is a must-read for researchers, students, and practitioners in the field of sustainable tourism and destination management. It includes not only theoretical and management perspectives on various topics, but also reflective questions that stimulate readers' critical thinking on the issues. The well-written and easily accessible contents allow readers to use the acquired knowledge easily and readily in the implementation of sustainable tourism policies across various contexts.'
