“…The calculation of biocapacity in particular areas enables the human demand made on these areas to be compared with their available natural capital. Academics and practitioners around the world are increasingly emphasizing ecological footprint accounting [12,22,24,26]. The ecological footprint is a particularly important reference index for governments that are setting national sustainable development policies [27,28].…”

“…But destination management need to consider other aspects deeply connected with tangible and intangible resources of a territory (Castellani & Sala, 2010). Social impacts are strategic to gather the relationships that are triggered between tourism and community (Boley et al, 2014;Jamal & Camargo, 2014;Stylidis et al, 2014); the economic ones measure the weight of tourism on the local economy (Torres-Delgado & Saarinen, 2014); environmental impacts assess the pressure generated on environment, natural resources and landscape (Cucculelli & Goffi, 2016;Rendeiro Martín-Cejas & Pablo Ramírez Sánchez, 2010). These impacts, however, are not yet sufficient.…”

Globalization age led to creation of new markets and to unveil new scenarios. This contingency highlighted the existence of a broader range of tourist offerings; a factor which, frequently, has undermined the most traditionally established destinations. The model of new destinations must not ignore the peculiarities of territories on they insist creating a unique amalgam and differentiating it from other neighboring or similar destinations. Due to this proliferation of factors that destabilize the governance of tourism management models in the public and private sector, it is necessary to start an analysis of government indicators that consider peculiar aspects of destination management in the era of globalization. For these reasons we conducted an analysis of the business-economic literature about the themes of tourism and governance in tourist destinations and we selected a set of indicators to describe, assess and control extended, slow and sustainable destinations. In this work, we want to illustrate a heuristic approach to build glocal destination based on the pillars of extended, slow and sustainable tourism. From the results of the literature analysis it will be possible to create a framework to build a tourist strategy in glocal destination management, useful to implementation of territorial tourism strategies for both institutional, public and private actors. The use of the key factors of the model could favor the insertion of new tourist routes respecting the cornerstones of the tourism ecosystem of sustainability.

“…Based on the theory of the ecological footprint, Hunter [1] formally introduced the TEF concept to show the actual consumption of natural resources and waste generation by tourists in terms of the appropriated area of land and water in the relevant ecosystem in a certain area. Empirical TEF measurements, such as those for the town of Manali [11]; the regions of Val di Merse, Italy [12]; Shangri-La, China [13]; Lanzarote Island, Italy [14]; and the countries of the Seychelles [15] and Tunisia [16], have been analyzed to account for the environmental externality of tourism growth.…”

Abstract:The tourism footprint family comprises the tourism ecological footprint (TEF), the tourism carbon footprint (TCF) and the tourism water footprint (TWF). The tourism footprint represents an important tool for quantitatively assessing the impact of tourism activities on the ecosystem of a tourist destination. This paper systematically reviews the relevant literature on TEF, TCF and TWF, analyses and summarizes the main progress and failures in the analytical frameworks, research methods, measurement results, environmental impacts and reductions in the tourism footprint. This paper also proposes areas for further developing the tourism footprint research, including unifying the analytical frameworks and boundaries of the tourism footprint, distinguishing the geographical scope of the tourism footprint effectively, improving the process of analyzing the environmental impact of the tourism footprint, measuring the tourism footprint scientifically and roundly, performing space-time calculations of the tourism footprint, and expanding the tourism footprint family by introducing new members. Accordingly, this paper is devoted to the continued study of the tourism footprint.
