Examining Community Resilience to Assist in Sustainable Tourism Development Planning in Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark, Vietnam

Stakeholder Perceptions of Tourism Assets and Sustainable Tourism Development in Da Nang, Vietnam

“…Stakeholder participation will also positively influence sustainable tourism success (Waligo, et al, 2013). This success may attributed to feelings of inclusion in decision-making (Bramwell & Lane, 2000), as well as notions of trust, learning and knowledge sharing (Holladay & Powell, 2013 (Beritelli, 2011), which will influence stakeholder coordination and plan implementation (Holladay, et al, 2017).…”

“…The next question asked if the interviewee saw any environmental and/or social (Miles, 2017). Collaboration, coordination and participation in this process is influential in sustainable tourism development success (Holladay, et al 2017). 2015).…”

“…The supply of trained employees is not sufficient to meet demand in light of the speed of hotel and resort industry growth in the city. In developing countries, this neglect is an important concern (Liu & Wall, 2006) included the community disconnect to economic opportunities that in turn necessitate industry training (Powell, et al, 2017). The ability to speak different languages, especially English, was also discussed as a deficiency in the local human resources pool.…”

Assessment of Geosites in Northern Morocco: Diversity and Richness with Potential for Socioeconomic Development

This is even crucial in the Mediterranean southern areas (like our case) where the well-being of rural communities is connected to their level of resilience and to their ability to develop and use their own resources to adapt and sustain the productivity and territorial functions despite of their vulnerability and / or the fragility of their environment (Holladay and Powell 2013;Powell et al 2018;Scarlett and Riede 2019). Thus, investing the geoheritage may enhance social resilience and contain environmental fragility through the development of a cultural and economic motivation that can strengthen human-territorial links to connect the members of rural communities to their counties, which will have beneficial repercussions on vast socioeconomic and ecologic systems at national and cross-border scales.…”
