Sažetak
Tourism is constantly undergoing change and in recent years one of the most significant characteristics of that change has been the move towards sustainable forms of tourism. This paper discusses the issues involved in moving tourism towards sustainability, arguing that a destination specific approach is essential and that Local involvement in deciding what are sustainable tourism objectives is equally important. The paper then discusses issues relating to carrying capacity in tourism destinations and the links between this concept and sustainability. It then examines the problem of identifying indicators of movement towards or away from sustainability and how these can be selected and implemented at the destination Level. An example of such a process is discussed and the Lessons that can be drawn from this case are reviewed. The paper concludes with a re-emphasis of the importance of tackling movement
towards sustainability at the destination or local level.
