Tourism and Resilience by Lisa Trawoger
Resilience relates to the ability of organisms, communities, ecosystems, and populations to absorb and withstand the impacts and effects of external forces while retaining their integrity and ability to continue functioning. The concept is particularly applicable to tourism destinations and attractions which are exposed to the potentially harmful and sometimes severe effects of tourism development and visitation. This book discusses the concept of resilience and its application to tourism. It compares the relevance of resilience to sustainability; the former focusing on the well-being and survival of the places affected and the latter focusing on the agent of impact, tourism itself.
