Abstract Sustainable tourism is not a static target, but a dynamic process of change, a transition. This book considers how monitoring using indicators can assist tourism to make such a sustainability transition. It encourages the reader to view tourism from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective and draws on material from a wide range of sources. The book explains why monitoring is important for different groups of stakeholders; public and private sector, NGOs and communities. It also examines important monitoring considerations such as what and where to measure, how much will monitoring cost and how the data can be presented. The book puts particular emphasis on indicator use and implementation. It highlights the process and techniques to develop and use indicators and then provides clear and detailed examples of monitoring in practice around the globe at different geographic scales.

Included are case studies presenting a wide range of monitoring experiences at various levels: at the international level in the case of the World Tourism Organization (WTO) indicator programme; at the regional level in the case of the Tourism Optimization Management Model (TOMM) Kangaroo Island Project in South Australia; at the national level in the case of the Samoa Sustainable Tourism Indicator Project (SSTIP); and at the sectoral level in the case of the Tourism Operators' Initiative (TOI) in Europe. The book has 12 chapters and a subject index.
