The economic and sociocultural significance of tourism today cannot be overstated. With the rapid growth of travel and tourism, more and more research is being undertaken in this field, with particular attention paid to the concept of sustainability. This book broadens the reach of such studies by providing comprehensive and rigorous examinations of many issues and concepts related to sustainable tourism, with particular attention paid to Slovenia. It considers the area broadly, and presents in-depth discussions on many relevant and important tourism issues, covering topics from the sustainable use of cultural heritage in tourism and the development of sustainable jobs and professionalism in the tourism sector to the aspects of systemic management and logistic planning for tourist destinations, as well as the contributions that local governments make towards sustainable development and use of local resources. The collection provides a unique and balanced view of both theoretical issues and practical cases and is a valuable reading for students, researchers and professionals in the field of tourism and sustainability.

Südosteuropa bei aller Spezifik besser als bisher historisch zugänglich zu machen, ist das Ziel dieses Handbuchs. In steter Bezugnahme auf gesamteuropäische und weitere Zusammenhänge werden hier die Ereignisgeschichte und die Strukturen von Staatlichkeit und Herrschaftsweisen im Zeitalter beschleunigten Wandels ab ca. 1800 behandelt. Die Diskussion von Quellen und Sekundärliteratur bezieht die Forschung in den südosteuropäischen Ländern in aller sprachlichen Vielfalt ein und vermeidet „westliche“ Perspektivverengung. Der Darstellungszeitraum ist zunächst gekennzeichnet durch ein starkes Fortbestehen der imperialen Ordnungsrahmen durch Habsburgermonarchie und Osmanisches Reich, n...
Thema dieses Buchs sind die deutschen Parlamentarier in Polen und Lettland in der Zeit zwischen den Weltkriegen. In den entsprechenden Gebieten der Vorgängerstaaten hatten die Deutschen vor 1918 die größte (mit-)herrschende Elite gestellt, gerieten ab 1918 aber in den Status einer Minderheit. Die Loyalitäten und Identitäten deutscher Abgeordneter in Lettland und Polen hingen sowohl von ihrer Erwartung an eine territoriale Revision ab als auch von den Partizipationsmöglichkeiten, die ihnen der Staat bot. Für beide Länder lässt sich die Zwischenkriegszeit in eine demokratische und in eine spätere autoritäre Phase untergliedern. Entsprechend wird auch untersucht, welche Auswirkungen das Entstehen der autoritären Herrschaften auf Identität und Handeln der deutschen Abgeordneten hatte.
Band 12, der den Abschluss des Historischen Wörterbuches der Rhetorik bildet, bietet eine umfassende Bibliographie zu Quellen und Forschungsliteratur.
This book provides a systematic and comprehensive guide to the current state of knowledge on tourism and water. It is the first book to thoroughly examine the interrelationships of tourism and water use based on global, regional and business perspectives. Its assessment of tourism's global impact along with its overviews of sectoral and management approaches will provide a benchmark by which the water sustainability of tourism will be measured for years to come. In making a clear case for greater awareness and enhanced water management in the tourism sector, it is hoped that the book will contribute to the wise and sustainable use of this critical resource. The book is interdisciplinary in coverage and international in scope. It is designed as essential reading for not only students of tourism but also practitioners.
For many communities and countries throughout the world tourism is the most valuable industry. Economic changes taking place in China, India, and the United States (with almost 3 billion people, half the world's population), for example, will have major impacts on the global tourism markets of tomorrow.

East Asia and the Pacific Rim are experiencing unprecedented growth and change in tourism. From the perspective of economic policy, tourism for local communities is a vital economic development tool producing income, creating jobs, spawning new businesse...
