Predicated on socio-economic changes in the more developed countries, international tourism in less developed countries has become an attractive option for economic development.

Sustainability under these conditions is an elusive concept and even more of a challenge to implement within the tourism system. This paper considers the pragmatic implications of operationalizing sustainable practices in tourism developme...

Today, most governments, international development agencies, trade associations, academic institutions and non-governmental organizations acknowledge that, without sustainability, there cannot be development that generates benefits to all stakeholders, solves serious and urgent problems such as extreme poverty, and pres...

Rightsizing the business seems promising and could be crucial for controlling capacity, maintaining the ecosystem, considering stakeholders’ needs and granting a high-quality-tourism The current pandemic is helping nations understand the problems related to this widely used economic model. Therefore, the author has decided to exploit the Icelandic case as he considers Iceland a symbol of wealthy and developed nation which seems to be willing to become pioneer in a sustainable tourism reconceptualization
