Achieving sustainable local tourism management: phase 2 - assessment tool

Abstract

Vols 1, 2: These documents work together to inspire critical assessment of the challenges, issues and opportunities that local governments face. The aim of the guide is to investigate the issues that local governments face in tourism management and the practices and approaches that have been adopted to address these issues. An investigation and appreciation of these issues is necessarily the first stage in moving towards more sustainable local tourism management. The assessment tool provides readers with tools, exercises and interrogating questions to better understand tourism management issues in their local destination. This is achieved through the presentation of activities and questions and through the inclusion of vignettes and stories of practice that may inspire alternative approaches to tourism management.
