Developing Sustainable Tourism through Co-evolution of tourism firms and destinations

Area 13 – Scienze economiche e statistiche

Sustainable tourism has become a topic increasingly addressed by the multidisciplinary research and practice about tourism management since the late 1980s. The debate is lively around the problems of interpreting actors and processes driving sustainable tourism paths within and across destinations. This volume addresses the topic both through a co-evolutionary framework that allows to look at the dynamic of the tourism firms-destinations relationship, and through empirical evidences that shed light on the role of tourism firms as, at the same time, subject and object of evolutionary change. The volume can be useful for academics and students, but also for decision makers and policy makers, to appropriately address and try to solve the multiple problems associated to sustainable tourism, improving its impact.
