Sustainable Tourism 2012
Supported by the International Journal of
Sustainable Development and Planning
5th International Conference on Sustainable Tourism, 13 - 15 June 2012, Coruña, Spain
Introduction
 Sustainable
Tourism 2012 is the fifth meeting organised in this successful series.
The first was held in Segovia, Spain (2004); followed by Bologna, Italy
(2006); Malta (2008) and the New Forest, UK (2010). Tourism has become a
major international industry, with many countries all over the world
relying on the income it produces. Its economic advantages as a major
source of finance and employment leads to its active promotion by
governments and other institutions, independent of the consequences on
the environment, ecology and social structure of affected regions.
The demands of tourism can contribute to the destruction of the
natural and cultural environment upon which it depends. The natural and
cultural landscape’s capacity to accommodate the local and worldwide
effects of tourism, the typology thereof and its implications for human
economy and society constitute very important study objectives. The
development of tourism includes degradation of the natural landscape,
caused by this industry associated with the phenomenon and
paradoxically, it is also associated with the high appraisal the
tourist makes of places free of human presence.
Delegates attending Sustainable Tourism
2012 will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper for
possible publication in the International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning, one of the six edited by the Wessex Institute.
Sustainable Tourism 2012 aims to find ways to protect the natural and
cultural landscape through the development of new solutions which
minimise the adverse effects of tourism. This can be achieved through
the development of new strategies involving the active collaboration of
society as a whole. Such solutions ought to cope with the continuous
growth of tourism impacts on the country including culture and society.
