“…If destinations follow professional methodologies of planification, the tourism benefits should be distributed across a wide range of collectives, as youth generations, women, etc. The risk-management governance procedures are necessary to reach an effective benefit-sharing from tourism, even at tourism crisis, not minimizing the benefit-sharing (Heslinga et al, 2020). Therefore, the destination management organizations (dmos) roles must change from the traditional promotional objectives.…”

Nos enfrentamos a la situación más inesperada en la industria de viajes y turismo: un cierre de la industria con fronteras cerradas, confinamientos de ciudades enteras, etc. (Qiu et al., 2020). En este trabajo queremos compartir una forma adecuada de empoderar a los destinos después de la crisis provocada por la covid-19. Para poder salir de esta etapa de crisis de seguridad y sanitaria, es realmente necesaria una colaboración profunda entre todos los actores, desde el sector público hasta la empresa privada turística, por muy pequeña que sea, e involucrar a los ciudadanos locales y a los diferentes colectivos sociales. Esta colaboración debe basarse en un clima de confianza común que cree las bases para la recuperación pensando en un paradigma global, pero actuando a nivel local. Esta colaboración debe, a su vez, inspirarse y actuar a partir la aplicación de los ODS, sin dejar a nadie atrás, ni a los profesionales del sector turístico ni a los movimientos sociales que han surgido a raíz de esta pandemia. Es hora de utilizar esta visión “glocal” para fortalecer los destinos.

“…The possibilities for further developing the area as a showcase for successional development are investigated. The possibilities for reclaiming the ancient landscape are analysed through the Heslinga et al [35] policy recommendations for synergetic interaction between tourism and landscape management.

Study of Heathland Succession, Prescribed Burning, and Future Perspectives at Kringsjå, Norway

The coastal heathland of Western Europe, dominated by Calluna vulgaris L., was previously maintained by prescribed-burning and grazing to the extent that the Calluna became anthropogenically adapted to regular burning cycles. This 5000–6000-year-old land management practice was essential for local biodiversity and created a vegetation free from major wildland fires. In Norway, recent neglect has, however, caused accumulation of live and dead biomass. Invasion of juniper and Sitka spruce has resulted in limited biodiversity and increasing wildland fire fuels. At the Kringsjå cabin and sheep farm, Haugesund, an area of previous fire safe heathland has been restored through fire-agriculture. Kringsjå is located close to several important Viking Age sites and the Steinsfjellet viewpoint, a popular local tourist destination. The motivation for the present study is to analyse this facility and investigate possibilities for synergies between landscape management and tourism as a route to sustainable transitions. The present study compares restored heathland vegetation with unmanaged heathland at Kringsjå. The potential for activities is also analysed based on the proximity to the tourist attractions in the region. The Kringsjå area demonstrates different vegetation conditions depending on level of afforestation, Calluna heath maintenance, and gracing. Within a few minutes’ walk, dense Sitka spruce communities with desert-like forest floor may be compared to native forest floors, Calluna dominated heathland, and grazing fields. It turns out that Kringsjå may become a showcase for resuming prescribed burning and grazing for fire-safe rich landscapes, while offering cultural and historical experiences for all age groups. Moreover, tourism may become a source of income required for supporting ongoing restoration initiatives. To start working on a common vision, preferably aligned with existing "Homeland of the Viking Kings" tourism approach, should be one of the first steps along this path.

“…The future of tropical forests, PAs, and their ecosystems services depends more than ever on: (a) more effective community involvement [64]; (b) harnessing of the synergies between environmental and social objectives [65,66]; (c) creative partnerships between public and private sectors [67]; and (d) effective management of human-modified landscapes [42]. These environmental governance strategies were all present in the governance of the Juan-Castro-Blanco National Water Park.…”

Land acquisition often involves power and displacement and can be carried out on a large scale. There are many forms of land acquisition, including for environmental and conservation purposes as well as for production activities. While green grabbing has joined land grabbing as an environmental justice issue of concern, it is not necessarily the case that all green land acquisition is large scale, done by powerful outsiders, or leads to displacement and exclusion. The outcomes of green land acquisition are dependent on the mechanisms used, the adequacy of resettlement and/or compensation, and the social and environmental context in which it happens. We discuss the outcomes of community-led land acquisition for conservation purposes in Costa Rica. We considered a special case of green land acquisition done by local civil society to defend the forest and water resources of the Juan Castro Blanco National Water Park in Costa Rica. We used the literature on green grabbing, social ecological systems, and social innovation to discuss local environmental governance and regional sustainable development. This paper makes a fresh contribution to environmental planning and environmental governance by bringing in aspects of green land acquisition that have not been previously explored.
