“…At the same time, vocational skills training, social security, job stability, and government support are also the main limiting obstacles [23], and different backgrounds lead to the formation of a variety of livelihood types. Moreover, Luo Xian Rong found that supportive initiatives and appropriate monitoring and management strategies are needed in the development of tourism to help local populations adapt to new conditions [41]. Attention should also be given to the lowest levels of government, as their task is to implement sustainable livelihood initiatives for people's lives [42].…”

Rural tourism is one of the important ways to achieve rural revitalization and one of the choices for farmers to improve their viability. Therefore, the socio-ecological systems (SES) analysis framework and obstacle factor analysis can provide a new perspective for the evaluation of farmers’ behavior adaptation processes. In order to test the adaptation mechanisms of farmers’ lives in rural tourism destinations, we applied this analysis framework to Ying-Tao-Gou Village in China. The study found that the livelihood adaptation strategies of local farmers can be divided into the categories of “tourism livelihood”, “part-time livelihood”, “worker livelihood”, and “farming livelihood”. The livelihood adaptation of local farmers presented a relatively balanced picture. There were significant differences in the livelihood adaptability of different types of farmers, but tourism farmers had the strongest livelihood adaptability. There were various barriers to the livelihood adaptation of different types of farmers, such as household savings and education level. Finally, to improve the adaptability of farmers’ livelihoods, amendments can be made in policy formulation, tourism development, and by the farmers themselves. This study is of great significance for the government in formulating policies to improve people’s livelihoods, to stimulate the vitality of rural development, and to accelerate the development of rural revitalization.

“…Another study identifies the impact of tourism development on the living conditions of the poor and analyzes the role of government and key investors in the tourism development process. The study finds that because local governments use a development approach, and investors follow the market logic in tourism development, the interests of the poor are then sacrificed for tourism development (Luo & Bao, 2019). A study conducted by Truong, Hall and Garry in 2014 in Sapa, Vietnam has the closest research topic to the current study.…”

“…Tourism development that focuses on the sustainability of environment and local culture in the destination contributes to the efforts of cultural preservation and natural resource conservation that ultimately are the two main elements in tourism development. Based on this view, tourism development is considered as one of the sectors that can improve the life quality of the local community by reducing the poverty rate in a region (Luo & Bao, 2019).…”

“…Based on the conclusion that economic growth causes disorder in all areas and, obviously, in the environment, (Georgescu-Roegen et al, 1996;Gössling et al, 2002;Sun et al, 2019) defend extending the range and scope of the analysis of economic processes, including methods and theories from natural sciences. The change is substantial; but it contributes to technically and conceptually enrich the economic analysis (Bridge et al, 2013;Luo & Bao, 2019;Gössling, 2017). This change moves from a mechanistic phase to a more holistic one, in which the economist is required to dialogue with other disciplines to better understand what happens in his own field (Britton, 1991;Williams & Shaw, 1998;Bettini & Karaliotas, 2013).…”

We analyze the economic evolution of a Spanish province that has become a leading region in mass tourism: The Balearic Islands. Environmental data are provided, which complement conventional macroeconomic variables. We analyze the relationship between economic activity and the consumption of natural resources in the Balearic Islands during the period 2000-2017. We find two clear patterns, one before the Global Crisis, and another one after it. We state that the Balearic economic model has become more sustainable since 2008. It implies that public policies, together with own households’ and enterprises’ initiatives in terms of changing production and consumption patterns have paid off and should be continued and deepened.
