This textbook offers a comprehensive and holistic exploration of sustainable tourism, catering to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The book stands out by combining foundational theories with advanced practical applications, covering a wide range of contemporary and relevant issues in sustainable tourism.
The book addresses all key pillars of sustainability in tourism — environmental, economic, and social dimensions.
