"Tourism Development and the Environment: Beyond Sustainability?" is the first in the new Earthscan series "Tourism, Environment and Development". The purpose of this book is twofold. Primarily, it challenges the sustainable tourism development paradigm that has come to dominate both theoretical and practical approaches to tourism development over the last two decades or so. In so doing, the book aims to extend the sustainable tourism debate beyond the arguably managerialist, 'blueprint' and destination-focused approach that continues to characterise even the most recent 'sustainability' agenda within tourism development. The author discusses the evolution of the concept of sustainable tourism development, its manifestations and limitations. He then proposes alternative approaches to tourism development which, nevertheless, retain environmental sustainability as a prerequisite of tourism development. But the book also aims to act as an introduction to the series as a whole. A number of issues raised in "Tourism Development and the Environment" demand more detailed analysis and debate in their own right, whilst also being applicable to different tourism developmental contexts, such as island micro-states, less-developed/ transitional economies and urban tourism. "Tourism, Development and the Environment" is a new textbook series that will critically appraise the relationship between tourism, the environment and development. Each book will review critically and challenge 'traditional' perspectives on (sustainable) tourism development, exploring new approaches that reflect contemporary economic, socio-cultural and political contexts.
