El turismo y el medio ambiente representan actualmente un binomio cada vez m s importante en las sociedades modernas, lo que se traduce en un mayor n£mero de estudios enfocados en el an lisis simult neo de ambos sustantivos. Turismo y medio ambiente son dos campos de estudio que, desde la perspectiva de la sociolog¡a como es el caso de este trabajo cient¡fico, tiene en com£n su relativa juventud como materias de investigaci¢n acad‚mica. As¡, el crecimiento de la actividad tur¡stica y la creciente sensibilidad por da¤os problemas ambientales, da lugar un nuevo perfil de turista que debe ser estudiado en mayor profundidad y con mayor regularidad. En este sentido, la tendencia de estos estudios parece dirigirse en los £ltimos tiempos hacia aspectos m s cualitativos y no tanto cuantitativos: el hecho clave es ahora la orientaci¢n de la planificaci¢n estrat‚gica del turismo y del medio ambiente hacia par metros m s cualitativos, que tiene al desarrollo econ¢mico y social sobre la base del equilibrio ambiental?

The Power of New Urban Tourism explores new forms of tourism in urban areas with their social, political, cultural, architectural and economic implications. By investigating various showcases of New Urban Tourism within its social and spatial frames, the book offers insights into power relations and connections between tourism and cityscapes in various socio-spatial settings around the world. Contributors to the volume show how urban space has become a battleground between local residents and visitors, with changing perceptions of tourists as co-users of public and private urban spaces and as influencers of the local economies. This includes different roles of digital platforms as resources for access to the city and touristic opportunities as well as ways to organise and express protest or shifting representations of urban space. With contemporary cases from a wide disciplinary spectrum, the contributors investigate the power of New Urban Tourism in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and Oceania. This focus allows a cross-cultural evaluation of New Urban Tourism and its dynamic, and changing conception transforming and subverting cities and tourism alike. The Power of New Urban Tourism will be of great interest to academics, researchers and students in the fields of cultural studies, sociology, the political sciences, economics, history, human geography, urban design and planning, architecture, ethnology and anthropology.

The Future of the Past is a biennial conference generally carried out during the commemoration date of the incorporation of Santa Ana de Los Ríos de Cuenca Ecuador as a World Heritage Site (WHS). It initiated in 2014, organized by the City Preservation Management research project (CPM) of the University of Cuenca, to create a space for dialoguing among interested actors in the cultural heritage field. Since then, this space has served to exchange initiatives and to promote coordinated actions based on shared responsibility, in the local context. The third edition of this conference took place in the context of the 20th anniversary of being listed as WHS and a decade of CPM as the Southern host of the PRECOM3OS UNESCO Chair (Preventive Conservation, Maintenance and Monitoring of Monuments and Sites). For the very first time, and thanks to the collaboration with the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation of the University of Leuven (Belgium), the conference expanded its local scope. On this occasion, contributions reflected round a worldwide challenge in the cultural field: revealing the paths towards participatory governance of cultural heritage. Participatory governance is understood as institutional decision-making structures supported by shared responsibilities and rights among diverse actors.

This book provides an essential overview of sustainable development research in Mexico. It discusses the empirical research methods and findings, as well as practical initiatives and projects being pursued in Mexico and other countries in the region. Although a number of Mexican universities are now conducting high-quality research on matters related to sustainable development, there are few publications that offer a multidisciplinary overview of research efforts for a broader audience. This book addresses that gap in the literature, providing researchers at Mexican universities – including those from other countries working in Mexico – with an opportunity to present their work, i.e. curriculum innovations, empirical work, activities, case studies, and practical projects. As such, it fosters the exchange of information, ideas and experiences, successful initiatives and best practices.

El turismo urbano es una de las modalidades turísticas de mayor crecimiento en una sociedad que tiende a la progresiva urbanización. Los destinos urbanos se multiplican y, debido a ello, la competencia entre ciudades para captar turistas y eventos es creciente. A pesar de la importancia de este fenómeno pocos son los ensayos y obras de divulgación publicadas en español sobre turismo urbano. En la primera parte de este libro se exponen los principios básicos para entender el desarrollo del turismo urbano, las características de su oferta y demanda, así como los principios fundamentales de gestión y planificación del turismo en las ciudades. En la segunda parte se analiza el papel del turismo de eventos dentro de la ciudad y se reflexiona sobre su potencial productivo y su capacidad transformadora sobre los lugares que los organizan.

A global industry and an important tool for economic development, international tourism is facing an increasingly uncertain future. Global environmental change, including climate change; increasing fuel prices; and growing criticism from environmental and social interest groups are posing substantial challenges to the belief that international tourism can be sustainable at current rates and patterns of growth. This book therefore aims to answer the questions of if and how tourism can be a sustainable industry. The book concludes that sustainable tourism is possible but that it requires fundamental shifts in operations, systems and philosophies. The various contributions identify a number of means by which this can be accomplished but stress that sustainable tourism still has a long way to travel before it can reach its destination.
