Sustainable Tourism
The term „sustainable tourism‟ first entered the language of tourism development policy some two decades ago. Reflecting the emergence and subsequent widespread adoption of sustainable development more generally, it was seen as an appropriate response to the challenges posed by the scale, scope and consequences of tourism development in particular. That is, since the mid-1960s, the rapid growth of tourism, particularly international mass tourism, and the inexorable global spread of the so-called „pleasure periphery‟ (Turner & Ash, 1975) had been accompanied by increasing calls for restraint in its development. By the early 1990s, the attention paid to both the perceived negative impacts of tourism and to alternative approaches to its development had become re- focused through the specific lens of sustainable tourism and, since then, it has maintained a dominant position in both the academic study of tourism and in tourism policy and planning processes
