商品描述
This book covers the current escalation of social problems related to the unstable political situation, economic crisis, as well as growing problems related to the state of the natural environment (existential climate crisis; pollution of land, oceans, and the atmosphere; severe declines in biodiversity) which requires a new rethinking of the sustainable tourism paradigm, in relation to the realities of the modern world, based on the practices observed in the tourist services sector. "Tourism is like fire, you can cook food on it, you can also burn down your house"--says the proverb. On the one hand, it allows for the regeneration of physical and mental strength of visitors, as well as provides funds for the economic development of the destination, but on the other hand, it contributes to a lot of damage to the geographical environment. The period of "stopping" of tourism during the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic allowed many areas to be relieved of the tourist traffic, which resulted in the observed revitalization of the natural environment, but also huge social and economic problems in destinations that are largely dependent on income from tourism.
The rapid resurgence of tourism after the pandemic restored revenues but also caused many social tensions. The problem of overtourism returned, and residents protested, calling for "tourists to go home." The entire tourism system requires a thorough analysis of the complex consequences of its development. This book presents many challenges facing contemporary tourism. Its theoretical and practical aspects provide a useful knowledge base for both researchers studying changes in tourism and practitioners in the tourism services sector. The content also serves as an inspiration to search for optimal solutions aimed at the sustainable development of contemporary and future tourism.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討了與不穩定的政治局勢、經濟危機以及日益嚴重的自然環境問題(存在的氣候危機;土地、海洋和大氣的污染;生物多樣性的急劇下降)相關的社會問題的當前升級,這需要對可持續旅遊範式進行新的思考,並根據在旅遊服務領域觀察到的實踐,與現代世界的現實相結合。諺語說:「旅遊就像火,你可以用它來煮食,也可以燒掉你的房子。」一方面,它使訪客的身心力量得以再生,並為目的地的經濟發展提供資金;另一方面,它也對地理環境造成了許多損害。因COVID-19疫情而導致的旅遊「停擺」期間,許多地區得以減少旅遊流量,這導致自然環境的復甦,但也造成了在很大程度上依賴旅遊收入的目的地出現巨大的社會和經濟問題。
疫情後旅遊的迅速復甦恢復了收入,但也引發了許多社會緊張。過度旅遊的問題再次浮現,居民們抗議,呼籲「遊客回家」。整個旅遊系統需要對其發展的複雜後果進行徹底分析。本書呈現了當代旅遊面臨的許多挑戰。其理論和實踐方面為研究旅遊變化的學者以及旅遊服務領域的從業者提供了有用的知識基礎。內容也激發了尋找旨在可持續發展當代及未來旅遊的最佳解決方案的靈感。
