Many of the world's islands are dependent on tourism as their main source of income. It is therefore imperative that these destinations are managed for long-term viability. The natural appeal of a destination is typically one of its main tourism related assets, yet the natural environment is also the feature most directly threatened by potential overexploitation. Sustainable Tourism in Island Destinations addresses these issues, providing an innovative discussion regarding issues of sustainability of island tourism destinations. It builds on and consolidates the existing literature and seeks to add to this by providing innovative discussions and practical management structures through the use of the authors' various island project work. The book examines sustainability issues in an island context and, through an illustrated case study approach, it focuses on the successes and challenges islands face in achieving sustainable tourism. Innovative mechanisms such as multi-stakeholder partnerships and incentive-driven non-regulatory approaches are put forward as ways that the sustainability agenda can move forward in destinations that face specific challenges due to their geography and historic development. These case studies provide the foundation which suggests that alternative approaches to tourism development are possible if they retain sustainability as a priority.
