Issues and Cases of Degrowth in Tourism
by Konstantinos Andriotis
Description
The expansion of mass tourism is becoming highly unpopular and 'tourism-phobia', often expressed in the form of anti-tourism marches, is spreading across various destinations. In light of this, there is a paradigm shift from 'tourism growth' to 'tourism degrowth' through a desire for a drastic transformation of the tourism industry. Degrowth is a key strategy to balance tourism growth. It works to ensure that the direction of institutional change and the orientation of technological development are controlled and in harmony with the environment. Degrowth involves people whose use of personal time enhances the richness of the experience through traveling less, more slowly and using low carbon options, taking time to support the environment, the local economy and to explore the local culture.
This book addresses the paucity of combined research on tourism and degrowth by presenting emergent knowledge and research on this increasingly important concept. In this book:
- The core theme of degrowth from a tourism perspective is outlined.
- Content is enriched with contributions from multi-disciplinary academics from around the World.
- Theory is put in to practice via international case studies.
Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the book, the contents will appeal to researchers and postgraduates studying
tourism, environmental studies, geography, planning and development and other related disciplines.
