Sustainable Island Tourism : Competitiveness and Quality of Life

This is the first book to provide coverage on the best practice of sustainable tourism in island destinations, focussing on the unique perspective of exploring the interplays of seasonality, competitiveness, and quality of life of islands as destinations. It brings together scholars from diverse areas to address the nature and types of sustainable island tourism and how the elements of the three interplays are intimately connected via impacts on natural environment, on local economy, including its effect on employment, quality of life, culture and traditions.
