Edited by two leading scholars in the field, this new title in the Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts in the Social Sciences, is a four-volume collection of canonical and cutting-edge research in sustainable tourism.
The origins of sustainable tourism as a topic of serious academic interest are comparatively recent. The subject is largely a postwar development which began to unfold in the 1960s, initially in the USA and Europe. With the continuing growth in concern about the grave impacts of tourism on the environment, society, and cultures, the subject area has continued to evolve internationally from a number of other disciplines and cognate areas—most notably environmental studies and geography, economics, and sociology, but also planning and management—and there has been a corresponding growth in sustainable-tourism scholarship. Sustainable tourism is now a vibrant and dynamic field of study and research, and the sheer scale of the growth in its output makes this collection especially timely. A wide range of social-science journals have published material about sustainable tourism and this new Routledge Major Work makes available foundational pieces of scholarship—as well as cutting-edge research—from these disparate, and sometimes less accessible sources, as well as from the leading UK, European, and North American tourism journals, and from other publications, some of which are no longer in print.
As well as bringing together the key studies and journal articles that have shaped serious thought about sustainable tourism, the collection will be welcomed as the first mapping of an area that to date has lacked an interdisciplinary synthesis. The thematic organization of the collection, together with the editors’ introductions and their commentaries on the collected texts, help to make sense of the wide range of approaches, theories, and concepts that have informed sustainable tourism, and review the history of the subject and the rise of its identity and research agenda. Sustainable Tourism is an essential collection, destined to be valued as a vital research resource by all scholars and students of the subject.

Biography
Stephen Page has been co-editor of the leading Tourism journal, Tourism Management (Elsevier), since 1996. He is the author, editor and co-editor/co-author of twenty books and helped Routledge set up their initial tourism list in the early 1990s prior to the move to Thomson Learning in 1995. He has taught and researched on leisure-related issues since 1987 and has experience of compiling a similar publication based on The Best of Tourism Management in 2000 (forty contributions). He holds the Scottish Enterprise Forth Valley Chair in Tourism at the University of Stirling. He has written three editions of our Geography of Tourism and Recreation.
Joanne Connell is Lecturer in Tourism and Co-ordinator of Leisure Studies at the University, with enrolments of up to 130 in the first-year course. She has taught and researched in this area since 1996 and has a PhD in the area. She has co-authored two editions of Tourism: A Modern Synthesis (Thomson Learning), which is about to appear as a full-colour text. This will be one of only three major international texts in the field (two of them in colour) and its comprehensive synthesis of the field illustrates a wider understanding of the needs of this project to provide a similar outcome. Her ability to signpost the literature is a complementary skill which she would bring to the project. She is also a leisure consultant and has worked for various clients, including VisitScotland and Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park (LLTNP). She was seconded to LLTNP to help them prepare their National Park Plan and so she has both academic and practitioner experience which will be invaluable for this project.
