Produktbeschreibung
This book appraises the place of partnerships in the pursuit of the 2030 Agenda across diverse international cases and tourism industry contexts. The potential for tourism to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals is roundly acknowledged, with SDG17 (Partnerships for the Goals) being perhaps the most pivotal of all SDGs, given that without multi-stakeholder approaches, very little progress is likely. This is especially important in a sector like tourism that necessarily involves the participation of governments at all levels, non-governmental actors, industry-from small to medium enterprises to large corporations-and communities in all their manifestations, from village level to municipality, state, and nation. This volume showcases partnerships in diverse international settings and varying industry contexts. This comprehensive resource is essential reading for students, tourism professionals, policy makers, sustainable development practitioners and policy makers and researchers in tourism studies, international development, and sustainability programs. The book covers key subject areas including sustainable tourism development, international partnerships, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), multi-stakeholder collaboration, tourism policy, and community-based tourism initiatives. This book was previously published as a special issue of Journal of Sustainable Tourism and features an updated Introduction.
Autorenporträt
Regina Scheyvens is Professor of Development Studies at Massey University, where she combines a passion for teaching about international development with research on tourism and sustainable development. Two major books have emerged from this research: Tourism for Development: Empowering Communities (Pearson, 2002), and Tourism and Poverty (Routledge, 2011). Professor Scheyvens' interest in responsible and ethical research led her to edit Development Fieldwork: A Practical Guide (Sage, 2014). Underlying all of her work is a concern for social justice, empowerment of the marginalised, respect for people and planet, and valuing alternative approaches to development. She has published a wide range of articles on tourism, small island states, the Sustainable Development Goals and corporate social responsibility. The South Pacific is the main focus of Professor Scheyvens' research. Joseph M. Cheer is Professor of Sustainable Tourism at Western Sydney University, Australia and prior to moving onto academia, he held roles in industry and government. He is a past Co-Chair of the World Economic Forum Global Future Council on the Future of Sustainable Tourism, a past board member of PATA (Pacific Asia Travel Association), advisory board member of UN Tourism Best Tourism Villages, and a member of the Panel of Experts of UN Tourism Barometer. Joseph Chairs the International Geographical Union (IGU) Commission on Tourism, Leisure and Global Change. His work engages in tourism geographies and sustainable tourism, with a particular focus on the Asia-Pacific. Joseph has published numerous books, articles, and papers for The Conversation, World Economic Forum, UNESCO, Asian Development Bank, and Global Research Institute. He has led keynotes and workshops in China, Macau, India, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Vanuatu, UAE, Thailand, Europe and the US.
