Vinodan, A./S. Meera
Sustainable Tourism in India and the Global South

Principles and Practices.

This textbook offers a comprehensive and holistic exploration of sustainable tourism, catering to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The book stands out by combining foundational theories with advanced practical applications, covering a wide range of contemporary and relevant issues in sustainable tourism. The book addresses all key pillars of sustainability in tourism - environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Its scope goes beyond traditional eco-tourism to include topics such as cultural preservation, community engagement, responsible business practices, technological innovations, and policy frameworks. Special attention is given to sustainable tourism's role in India and the Global South, which is often underrepresented in existing texts. It also integrates global case studies and examples that illustrate the successful implementation of sustainability practices in diverse geographical and cultural contexts. The content is structured into five units, each designed to offer a seamless balance between theoretical principles and practical, real-world applications. Each chapter is thoughtfully organized to guide the reader through both historical discourses and contemporary debates in sustainable tourism, with sections dedicated to emerging trends like smart tourism and the use of technology in sustainability efforts. The book provides a strong grounding in core principles while also addressing the latest industry challenges, making it suitable for students, academics, and practitioners.
