| Tóm tắt: | This text is not about ‘responsible tourism’ in
the sense that it might be considered as just
another form of tourism such as ‘sustainable
tourism’, ‘soft tourism’ or ‘ecotourism’. Neither
is it a collage of articles each of which is based
on some diff erent type or form of tourism
product. Rather, the primary intent is to
produce a broad, yet comprehensive, mono-
graph on the concept of responsible tourism
(RT), focusing on what is meant by the term
and what it encompasses. The text thus
presents a critical discourse on what RT is, its
key tenets and the extent to which they are
applied and realized through illustrations and
examples of responsibility (or otherwise) in
tourism in practice. In pursuance of this
objective, the fi rst consideration is to establish
a broad context within which to place the
emergence of RT and thereby establish a
framework to delineate our discourse and
establish both structure and content for the
following chapters. The use of the term
‘responsible’ in this context implies ‘responsible
for’, implying that those involved in tourism
are responsible for the consequences of
tourism as an activity. For example, responsible
providers of tourism products and services may
be considered liable for the conduct and
outcomes of their operations and trustworthy
in their intent. To a greater or lesser extent,
this expectation of responsible behaviour is
equally applicable to any business activity. |
