Abstract:
The past years have proved to be a challenging period for the Worlds’ Tourism Industry. It is widely recognized that conventional tourism practices have failed to safeguard the most valuable assets of tourism and it is now, more than ever that sustainable tourism policies are recognized as a one-way solution. However, in order to solve a problem someone has to first recognize it. In this light, we address basic contemporary issues on sustainable tourism development and Tourism Policy practices.
