These principles, rooted in social, economic
and environmental equity (Dinan & Sargeant,
2000), have recently been further refined. For example,
Ayuso (2007:144) suggests,
… strategies for the development of sustainable tourism should be
guided by an integrated planning process based on economic, sociocultural
and environmental goals, the use of carrying capacity or other
techniques for quantifying the limitations of the tourist resources, and
a transparent and participative decision-making process.
