Definition of "Sustainable Destination Management"?

I wonder why nobody posted anything about this issue yet...
...and have as a suggestion the apprehension that this term probably overwhelms tourist practicioners: Sustainability itself is already tricky, and Destination Management is one of the big challanges, but a destination management which is also sustainable? What the hell should this mean?

I have some ideas, but I wait some days for you reactions, first 😉
