Quote from Harald A. Friedl on 6. December 2019, 10:38
Dear Colleagues,
as criticised in my presentation at the conference in Hanoi, "sustainable tourism" is very often interpreted as "sustainable growth" of touris, which leads sometimes unfortunately to overtourism. Within a limited world, this creates fundamental practical and paradigmatic problems. For this reasons, academics have developed the concept of "Degrowth" - a horror picture for politicians, economists and tourism marketers.
To clear the fog around this term a bit, I may present an explanatory article from the Encyclopedia of Sustainable Tourism.
