| Tóm tắt: | The aims of this book are to contribute to the understanding of best practices in
tourist destination governance and to benchmark and advance ways of theoriz-
ing on these practices. Tourism is recognized as a complicated, multi-sector activ-
ity with numerous stakeholders and with diverse and often divergent goals and
objectives. Achieving cooperation, collaboration and integration among the gov-
ernment organizations involved in the various aspects of tourism and between
government and private sector enterprises, as well as between tourism policies
and community interests, are major concerns for policy makers, managers, com-
munity members and academics. Further diffi culty is due to the need for a tourist
destination to deal with changing tastes, interests and concerns among its visi-
tors, and fl uctuations in market conditions due to crises and disasters. It is also
widely accepted that tourism has varied and rapidly evolving forms, meaning
that each destination system must be understood in its own contexts.
All human (social and economic) systems depend on the performance of
generic functions. ‘Any system has to cope with external challenges, to prevent
confl icts amongst its members … to procure resources … and to frame goals and
policies to achieve them’ (Rosenau and Czempiel, 1992:3). We may consider
that governance is the means by which a system seeks to ensure these functions
are undertaken. Governance is the set of tasks such as decision making, enforce-
ment of decisions, communication of rules and measurement of performance
that allow these functions of a system to proceed. |
