Study Community Development
Can anyone suggest recent ‘sustainable development for tourism’ examples in the UK?
I’m looking to undertake an investigation of the extent of public / community involvement in sustainable development for tourism and require some assistance in locating a case study. The internet turns up lots of well-researched (large-scale) examples, but I’m after a LOCAL / VILLAGE / TOWN example.
Has anything happened in your area (or a neighbouring one) where members of the public were heavily involved or, alternatively, where they were not consulted at all?
Thank you!
