Tourism Enterprise. David Leslie

СКАЧАТЬ due attention is given to other categories of tourism supply not included in the study per se, thus attention not only to the responses of the enterprises involved but also to national/multinational companies in the hospitality sector and also tour operators. Therefore seeking overall to establish a broad review of the responses of tourism enterprises to sustainability issues and developments. In the process contributing in some small measure to the paucity of research in this area of enquiry and addressing Buckley’s critique on the lack of research into the operations and practices of tourism SMEs with the accent on small/micro enterprises.

      To what extent this has been achieved is very much for the reader to decide. There will no doubt be criticisms as to what should (or should not) have been included but such is the way with all academic texts to the well informed. Even allowing for the length available, constraints of space may still preclude further discussion of any one area.

      The ultimate objective though is to stimulate thought on the many and diverse facets of tourism enterprise and environmental performance within the far broader framework of sustainability, thus not only potentially to establish a range of benchmarks and areas for future/further research but also to stimulate engagement with the issues arising and promote debate. To achieve such an outcome would indeed make this undertaking worthwhile.
