Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reducing the impacts of tourism on the environment has become an important issue. A theoretical framework for assessing the effect of leisure and recreation on sustainable tourism is required. This Special Issue will contribute to the study of sustainable tourism by presenting a wide range of papers on ‘The Effect of Leisure and Recreation on Sustainable Tourism’ from the field of natural and social science. Papers that develop state-of-the-art methods for assessing the effect of leisure and recreation on sustainable tourism, leisure and recreation behavior on sustainable tourism, new frameworks for managerial implications, and methods for monitoring environmental impacts to promote sustainable tourism, are all welcome. This Special Issue will elucidate original theoretical frameworks and valuable insights for supporting tourism development.
Although leisure, recreation, and tourism have economic benefits and directly help local communities, industries, and nations achieve sustainable development, it also has critical environmental impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions, which are associated with travel, accommodation, and recreational activities. Leisure, recreation, and tourism not only cause environmental or ecological degradation of a destination but also have an impact on global warming. Consequently, reducing the impacts of leisure, recreation, and tourism on the environment has become an important issue. A theoretical framework for assessing the effect of leisure and recreation on sustainable tourism is thus required. This Special Issue will contribute to the study of sustainable tourism by presenting a wide range of papers on ‘The Effect of Leisure and Recreation on Sustainable Tourism’ from the field of natural and social science. Papers that develop state-of-the-art methods for assessing the effect of leisure and recreation on sustainable tourism, leisure and recreation behavior on sustainable tourism, new frameworks for managerial implications, and methods for monitoring environmental impacts to promote sustainable tourism, are all welcome.
