“…The pursuit of sustainable practices is hindered by the need to maintain business interests, particularly in countries heavily reliant on mass tourists. Seasonality affects the demand for tourism, requiring efforts to evenly disperse tourists throughout the year to maximize the benefits of slow tourism (Masberg 1999). Balancing cultural sensitivity, fulfilling tourist expectations, and preserving local authenticity pose a persistent problem.…”

This paper explores how slow tourism might promote sustainability in India. Slow tourism is a sustainable travel strategy that prioritizes high-quality travel experiences above quantity and aims to protect the environment, promote local culture, and increase travelers' happiness. This study examines the main ideas, themes, and behaviors related to slow tourism through a thorough literature assessment. It assesses their applicability to India's socio-cultural and ecological contexts. It draws attention to the potential of slow tourism to promote sustainable development through strengthening local economies, protecting the environment, and cultivating an awareness of the natural and cultural history of the region. The report also evaluates the potential and challenges for slow tourism in India and makes recommendations for future study and policy formation. This study highlights slow tourism's potential to advance sustainability in India's tourist industry, using Uttarakhand as a relevant case study.

“…With the proposal of a sustainable development strategy by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992, much more attention was given to environmental protection in tourism development (Buckley, 1994;Goodwin, 1996). As an effective way of sustainable tourism development, ecotourism was promoted both in theory and practice (Masberg & Morales, 1999;Ross et al, 1999;Scheyvens, 1999). With rising social interest, the quantity of academic research related to ecotourism has also increased.…”

The study aims to evaluate research trends of ecotourism, which has attracted wide attention by both researchers and policymakers as an important way to realize sustainable tourism. Bibliometric analysis was carried through the 2,531 records related to ecotourism searching from Science Citation Index (SCI), Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI), and Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP) databases from 1990 to 2016. A total of 4,138 keywords were divided into three categories: topical keywords, case-related keywords, and research methods–related keywords. They, respectively, were analyzed on overall development as well as the dynamic changes by three divided stages of ecotourism research. The results showed that Tourism Management was the most prolific journal. U.S.-based authors published more often than those from any other country, whereas among research institutions, the Chinese Academy of Sciences was the most prolific contributor. It also revealed that conservation was the key focus, protected area was the main study object, and sustainable tourism was the main aim. The top three countries for cases study were China, the United States, and South Africa, and the main methodologies were contingent valuation method and geographic information system. According to the dynamic analysis, research perspectives changed from ecotourism resources to management and subsequently expanded to multistakeholders involvement, with a rapid expansion of the case and implementation of quantitative research methods. With multidisciplinary involvement and multistakeholders participation, the study of tourist awareness and behavior on ecotourism would become the main aspects for deepening and concreting ecotourism research. Our findings provide a quantitative understanding of global ecotourism research features.

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractIn the last 20 years 'public-private partnership' has become a catchword and was presented as a remedy against sub-efficient policy co-ordination. The core question of the proposed paper refers to the key factors determining forms of partnership collaboration in the field of sustainable urban tourism.In the first section of the paper we trace back the advent of the discussion on governance and new forms of collaboration between the public and the private sector and embed the discourse into a wider politico-economic development context. By presenting a detailed literature review on political-economic research in urban studies we illuminate the academic contribution to the debate on governance. In the following section different types of partnership collaboration in the field of sustainable urban tourism, based on empirical evidence explored by the 'SUT-Governance' EU research project, are deve loped. The paper is concluded by some final remarks on the opportunities and drawbacks of the governance-boom and its consequences.
