Actual and projected international arrivals, 1950–2020. (From UNWTO.) those of other methods of development such as forestry, mining, manufacturing and agriculture. This book is designed to illustrate many of the issues and approaches associated with sustainable tourism development, policy and research. Included are case studies of tourism development using both quantitative and qualitative methods, analytical frameworks for managing tourism and chapters addressing critical questions about the relationship between tourism and sustainability goals. As a whole, the book demonstrates the many dimensions and topics associated with attempts to address the complex issues associated with sustainability and tourism. In this edition, we have added several new chapters that address emerging issues in management of tourism. In this chapter, we outline several of the pathways and pitfalls confronting tourism as it seeks an appropriate role in this world. These include: 1. The meaning of sustainable tourism – there are several such meanings; which ones are used suggest not only world views, but have implications for other issues as well. 2. Integration with the larger economy and linkage with scale of consideration – planners, academics and advocates are increasingly concerned with how tourism development fits in with broader social and economic development goals. 3. The search for indicators – how do we know if sustainable tourism is indeed sustainable without a set of measurable variables that indicate progress? 4. Planning and implementation – sustainable tourism does not just happen, it occurs only with explicit decision-making processes that consider what futures are plausible and desirable and the pathways leading to them. 5. Forms of knowledge and public participation – achieving sustainable tourism will require a variety of individuals, agencies and programmes, each using different forms of knowledge and each involving those affected by decisions.
4 The Search for Sustainable Tourism We briefly discuss each of these pathways and pitfalls, and then provide an overview of the book. Sustainable Tourism, Sustaining Tourism or What Should Tourism Sustain? Different Meanings, Alternative Pathways As with its larger context, the meanings attached to sustainable tourism have varied significantly, with little apparent consensus among authors and government institutions. This leads to two problems. First, sustainable tourism constitutes what is termed a ‘guiding fiction’: guiding fictions serve socially valuable functions as long as definitions remain vague; they stimulate and organize social discourse around problematic issues, but when individuals seek the more specific definitions needed to guide action, this function breaks down as groups argue over the meaning of terms (Shumway, 1991). The challenge here is to maintain the pathway to sustainable tourism while providing secure venues for public deliberation about meanings and actions. Second, agreement on meanings is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for making progress on socially problematic challenges. Action in society requires a variety of actors performing cooperatively and in collaboration (Friedmann, 1973). In tourism development, this includes promotional agencies, governmental planning and zoning institutions, community development groups, local residents, transportation planners, private entrepreneurs and others. Use of different meanings of terminology central to discourse can lead ultimately to conflict and development of mistrust. This lack of consensus on meanings is a significant pitfall in the search for sustainability, for the different meanings result from significantly different perceptions of tourism and its role in society. These meanings also lead to different implications for appropriate social action. There are at least three different meanings that relate directly to the notion of sustainable tourism that are used in the literature. These meanings reflect a continuum of world views from those that are industry-centred to those that are more broadly social-centred: 1. Sustaining tourism: how to maintain tourism industry businesses over a long time frame. This view suggests that the primary task is to build and manage a set of tourism businesses that can maintain themselves over a long period. This view is narrow in the sense that the objective of sustainable tourism is the tourism (and recreation) industry and included business firms. This view of sustainable tourism would place great emphasis on maintaining promotional programmes that ensure that the number of tourists visiting an area continues to rise. In this sense of sustainable tourism, the more tourists, the better. While maintaining the health of individual businesses may be viewed as a worthy social goal, this perspective does not necessarily recognize tourism as a tool to enhance economic opportunity, protecting a community’s cultural and natural heritage and maintaining a desired quality of life.
