Abstracts
In the last two decades, the literature on tourism has dealt extensively with the concept of sustainability. The large majority of this body of academic work on sustainability has had overwhelmingly positive tones. It is only very recently that different undercurrents have occurred and they have inspired this paper. The idea of sustainability has long featured in the literature of general economics. It has appeared in different contexts but with broad common ground. It seems that the main question is: “Whose sustainability is dominant?” The paper presented here discusses a sub-question: “Can we argue with certainty that establishing any sustainable state will benefit all parties in the process?”
