In this multidisciplinary and multi-jurisdictional account of sustainability in urban tourist destinations, the Handbook on Sustainable Urban Tourism draws together the latest academic research and provides key practical insights on this developing area of study. It not only considers the importance of cities as ideal tourist destinations due to their complex characteristics and the variety of attractions they offer, but also the challenges they are confronted with, most notably sustainability.

‘There is a continuous need to explore the sustainability of tourist destinations. This book provides a comprehensive contribution on social and environmental issues affecting the tourism industry in urban contexts. I strongly recommend this title to academic colleagues, practitioners and to advanced undergraduate students, who are interested in expanding their knowledge and understanding on responsible tourism planning and destination marketing.’

‘The Handbook on Sustainable Urban Tourism traces and explores the challenges and opportunities of urban destinations as they grapple with the implementation, organisation, and development of sustainable cities. This book provides fresh insight into various contemporary issues, planning and management trends and the geographies of sustainable cities within the broader environment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.’
– Jayne Rogerson, University of Johannesburg, South Africa

‘Urban environments, with their bustling crowds, traffic, concrete and buildings, are ecosystems that greatly influence the quality of their inhabitants and visitors by also providing space for relaxation, recreation and exploration. The Handbook on Sustainable Urban Tourism provides valuable insights into contemporary challenges and trends, while also offering practical solutions and shedding light on the crucial role that urban destinations play in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. An enlightening read and empowering guide to sustainable urban tourism.’
