Abstract:
Abstract Nature-based tourism has increased considerably during recent years, which has raised questions about the tolerance of ecosystems experiencing growing visitor numbers. The present thesis focuses on the ecological and social sustainability of nature-based tourism in protected areas and their surroundings. The objective of the ecological studies was to determine the effects of tourism on vegetation, soils and risk of introduction of alien plant species. The social survey investigated whether opinions concerning nature conservation and tourism by local people are dependent on socio-econo

Abstract:
Surfing is an increasing component of the adventure tourism sector. Growth in surfing as a lifestyle, sporting activity and industry has generated a surge of exploration and intrusion by surfing tourism into remote and vulnerable destinations worldwide in the "search" for uncrowded waves at uncharted locations. Consequendy, there have been concerns at the impacts of surfing tourism on coastal, island and marine areas, often characterised by fragile environments and host communities, compounded the lack of management in isolated regions, and of the surfing tourism industry.

Abstract:
Small-scale tourism areas began in the 1970's as drifter enclaves that formed a network of budget tourist establishments separate, but parallel to mass tourism. During its infancy, small-scale tourism was suppressed by the government, fearing the moral decadence allegedly associated with the influx of this type of development. Over the past few years, however, such development has been promoted aggressively by the government, believing it to be a catalyst for rural development. The phenomenal growth of small-scale tourism development in Malaysia was induced both by the growing popularity of al

As a response, the industry and academia have experienced a shift towards discourses of sustainable tourism, or more recently responsible tourism, where stakeholders aim to embark on a path of holistic sustainability.

To establish sustainable development as a primary strategic objective within the tourism industry represents a substantial challenge.

Abstract:
This research focuses on main challenges and opportunities in developing sustainable tourism in Samui Island, one of the well-known tourist destinations in Thailand.

Abstract:
Tourism plays an ever more important role in Scotland's rural economy. Although the tourism industry in rural areas is typically presented by small firms, knowledge of their role in sustainable rural development is limited. In particular, there has been little discussion about small tourism businesses' (STB) contribution to social sustainability (SS). However, the literature suggests that STBs can contribute to SS through their relationship with the local community. While there is evidence to indicate that owner- managers' (OM) views and beliefs relate to their business' relationship with the

Magister Artium (Development Studies) - MA(DVS)<br>Tourism is one of the many external forces influencing the direction and options for local economic development.
