Special Issue on: "Tourism and Community: Development, Relationship, Impacts and Management"

Guest Editor:
Dr. Ming Ming Su, Renmin University of China, P. R. China

Destination communities are commonly among the most affected but the least empowered among tourism stakeholders. The relationship between tourism and communities is multi-dimensional, encompassing economic, social, cultural, ecological and political forces. It is believed that community participation in tourism can ensure community benefits, empower the locals and promote community development. Thus, the need for community participation in tourism is well-recognised. Proper planning and management are needed to facilitate the sustainable development of both tourism and the community.

This special issue invites papers on issues concerning tourism and community. Both empirical and conceptual studies are welcome.

The issue will be international in scope and a wide variety of papers involving theoretical research, empirical research, case research and analytical models focusing on the key issues of the theme of the issue will be considered for publication.
