| Tóm tắt: | There is already a signifi cant body of knowledge of sustainable island tourism
development presented in previous books by authors including Apostolopoulos
and Gayle, 2002 (Island Tourism and Sustainable Development:
Caribbean, Pacifi c and Mediterranean Experiences), Briguglio et al., 1996
(Sustainable Tourism in Islands and Small States: Issues and Policies) and
Briguglio et al., 1996 (Sustainable Tourism in Islands and Small States:
Case Studies), among others. These previous volumes, along with this
present book, would not have materialized without the contributions of the
numerous island tourism researchers dedicated to developing an understanding
of the important and complex topic of sustainable island tourism development.
The chapters in this book are all based on original research and were subject
to peer review before publication.
This growing interest in studying island tourism development from a
sustainable perspective is probably attributable to the fact that islands form
perfect ‘living laboratories’ that enable researchers to isolate the causal and
immediate effects of tourism development on the community, environment
and economy of islands, and to study them at a level of detail that is not
possible in other tourism destinations. Islands attract not only tourists, but also
those who seek to study the effects of tourism, and the chapters in this book
add to that substantial body of research from the perspective of sustainable
tourism researchers. Additionally, research questions and implications arising
from each of the chapters are included in the fi nal chapter, which will
stimulate interest in specifi c topical or geographical areas of future research. |
