Sustainable Tourism and Its Environmental and Human Ecological Effects
This special issue belongs to the section "Environmental Science and Engineering".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will address the increasing interest in sustainable and related forms of tourism. The focus will be on the environmental and human ecological impacts. The social and economic impacts of sustainable tourism will be addressed along with its effects on the physical environment. A series of worldwide case studies on the friction between tourism development and environmental quality will be presented. The SI will offer opportunities, including policy papers not only focusing on the instruments to alleviate the environmental impacts, but also on methods for the efficient involvement of stakeholders.
