“…Meanwhile, academic interest and research continued. For instance, the 2008 Special Issue on Responsible Tourism in the Journal of Sustainable Tourism addressed a range of topics from expectations of responsible tourists in New Zealand [26] to measuring responsibility through the appraisal of sustainable tourism indicators [27]. Table 1 summarizes some of the key markers in the evolution of responsible tourism.…”

This paper traces the history and evolution of sustainable tourism and identifies some critical issues and omissions in this and related approaches such as responsible tourism, ecotourism and pro-poor tourism. The academic, institutional and practical intersections of sustainable tourism and responsible tourism are examined. It reveals that important theoretical and practical considerations around well-being, inclusion, and sustainability have been omitted. A critical look at ecotourism reveals additional concerns, such as a cornucopia of guidelines and principles, without clear ethical justifications to support them. At the same time, academics in this domain have been slow to consider the modernist and neoliberal influences shaping ecotourism and sustainable tourism development, such as through the discourse of ecological modernization. We identify some key omissions, such as the missing ‗body' in sustainable tourism discourse, lack of critical analysis of postcolonial and dependency issues, and propose re-situating ‗sustainable tourism' within a micro-macro, local-global systems approach informed by a clear framework of justice and ethics.

“…For example, Karmakar (2015) noted that Bangladesh achieved amazing success in sanitation in 15 years and now only 1% people used to defecate in the open, and the country is supposed to declare as a free from open defecation. Although these behaviors were not found important among the Bangladeshi tourists, they could be important in different countries, because tourists' RB varied significantly between countries and contexts (Stanford, 2008).…”

This research examined tourists' intention to adopt responsible behavior (RB). Toward this, two constructs of determinants (attitude and self-efficacy belief) of intention to adopt RB were identified through literature surveys.Also, three constructs of RB alternatives, namely, economically RB (ECNRB), environmentally RB (ENVRB), and socio-culturally RB (SCLRB), were identified through a focus group discussion. A self-administrated questionnaire was surveyed among 351 professionals in Bangladesh. Confirmatory factor analysis of both the independent and dependent variables was done prior to employing them in the structured equation model to validate the model and test the hypotheses. The research found that in Bangladesh, the self-efficacy belief influences tourists' intention to choose RB more than the attitude does, but their influences on tourists' intention to adopt ECNRB, ENVRB, or SCLRB are varied. Moreover, tourists were found to have less intention to adopt ECNRB than ENVRB and SCLRB. For the policy makers or promoters of responsible tourism (RT), those who want to promote any kind of RB in Bangladesh need to increase self-efficacy belief among tourists. The policy makers need to develop themes around tourists' positive experience, emotional and physiological states along with verbal persuasion in their communication messages (Bandura, 1997) and in any kind of interpretations at the destination whilst targeting a particular market segment.

“…Potential partners may not engage because they fear too much commitment of their time and efforts (see Caffyn, 2000 andGetz, 1995). The exact area of interest may be difficult to define (see Reghage, (2010) andThimm, (2012)), power may be unevenly distributed (Hall, 2000) and some stakeholders may not be included (Climpson, (2008) and Stanford, 2008). There may also be a clash of cultures, particularly between partners in the public and private sectors (Wray, 2011).…”

“…Lack of funding and political will has reduced many destination "management" organisations to destination "marketing" organisations (Pike, 2013) with organisations whose remit has not traditionally been destination management stepping in to fill this void (Stanford et al, in press). Partnerships may include, or indeed exclude, parties with very different access to resources and power (Hall, 2000, p. 149), for example visitors' views are often not solicited (Stanford, 2008).…”
