Il turismo nelle isole, peculiarità e linee strategiche

To date, much literature is identifying the need for Island tourism and policy to address this need. However, only some studies address island tourism at a practical level or the effectiveness of policy implementation. These small territories are obliged to use extra-territorial resources as their hinterland for economic success. Such resources extend over a whole range of goods and services and include access to investments. Bearing in mind this limitation, this research will attempt to present a strategic planning methodology (integrated strategies) for drawing up strategic issues for tourism development from the point of view of sustainability, which is particularly appropriate to Islands. To this end, sociocultural aspects, the environment, and the economy, with particular emphasis on tourism, are examined to identify major strategic issues for sustainable development in the Island context. This research focuses on the design level of policy to better understand the barriers and possible solutions to implementing sustainable tourism policy.
