As an integral part of individual lives and one of the strongest inputs to global economies, tourism isaffected by such social tensions and can play an important role in reducing them; therefore it offers aninteresting challenge for serious discussions regarding tourism and regional sustainability. Tourism istraditionally associated with pleasure, leisure and escape from the ordinary world and is often contrastedwith other, more serious economic activities such as manufacturing and extraction. As a result gov-ernments and planners often ignore tourism; furthermore, outside of the field of tourism academicresearch, the relationship between tourism and sustainability received too little attention consideringthat tourism can play an increasingly integral role in regional sustainable development processes.

The financial crisis, social unrest in multiple parts of the world,increased economic disparities, together with heavier natural ca-lamities triggered by climate changes and continuously diminish-ing access to food and land resources are signals that currentparadigms that shape human life are failing to provide wellbeing.Instead they often perpetuate disparities and divergences, andweaken, instead of strengthen the ecological, social and economicfabric of communities and regions.

As an integral part of individual lives and one of the strongestinputs to global economies, tourism is affected by such social ten-sions and can play an important role in reducing them; therefore itoffers an interesting challenge for serious discussions regardingtourism and regional sustainability. Tourism is traditionally asso-ciated with pleasure, leisure and escape from the ordinary worldand is often contrastedwith other, more serious economic activitiessuch as manufacturing and extraction. As a result governments andplanners often ignore tourism; furthermore, outside of the field oftourism academic research, the relationship between tourism andsustainability received too little attention considering that tourismcan play an increasingly integral role in regional sustainabledevelopment processes.

Within the tourism research domain there hasbeensomeworkonsustainability issuesbut arguably thesehavebeenlimited in their scope into both the realms of practice and widersustainability discourses. Overall, it seems that the adoption andimplementation of sustainable tourism has reached a stagnationpoint, where easier targets have been adopted but due to the lack ofcreative forces from the tourism sector more complex, multi-disciplinary dialogue has seldom resulted in new advances with re-gard to the roles of tourism in sustainable regional development.
