Tourism for Tomorrow:
Creating Sustainable Destinations Today
As destinations across the world strain under overcrowding, climate pressure, cultural erosion, and fragile infrastructure, this book asks a sharper question: "why do places collapse suddenly after years of growth? and how can that be prevented?"
Blending global case studies from 20 destinations across the world, the book introduces the ECOSAFE Model, a practical framework that goes beyond theory to explain what truly makes destinations endure - economically, environmentally, socially and institutionally. It also presents the Sustainable Infrastructure Multiplier Effect (SIME), a way to measure not just what tourism builds, but what it leaves behind.
This book is written for policymakers, planners, tourism professionals, industry, academicians, communities, students, and conscious travelers - showing how destinations can welcome the tourism without overflowing, and grow without losing themselves.
