Rita De Siano: Tourism, Growth and Sustainability, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book proposes a reconstruction of the relationship between tourism, growth and sustainability. Drawing on theoretical as well as applied perspectives, the authors provide analytical tools to investigate connections at the heart of policy debate, in search of new strategies to promote growth.

With a special focus on climate change, readers will be able to understand, by using simple yet rigorous analytical tools, the interpretative categories used to measure and evaluate tourism's contribution to growth and its impact on environmental transformation and climate change. The book explores what role tourism has in developing and emerging economies, and how advanced economies can rely on tourism to foster growth and reduce inequality.

A valuable contribution to tourism and sustainability literature, this book aims to support policymakers in identifying strategies that combine sustainability and tourism with profitability and development of the territory.
