Building sustainable tourism as an integral part of the resort community
by Harold Richins
International Journal of Tourism Policy (IJTP), Vol. 1, No. 4, 2008

Abstract: This paper discusses the use of an action research type participatory community method in the development of a sustainable tourism strategy for a resort community in Australia. Through an effective collaborative approach to tourism management and sustainability, this provides perhaps an innovative example how sustainable tourism methodologies can facilitate more community integration and empowerment. This paper shows an approach to community governance, human capacity building and tourism collaborative development, which suggests an important method in the achievement of long-term resort destination sustainability to provide both residents and visitors with quality of lifestyle and experiences that they often embrace so passionately.
