STAKEHOLDER THEORY AS A MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN ECOTOURISM

Francisco Orgaz Agüera

Turismo y Desarrollo Local, 2013, issue 15

Abstract: Tourism has been characterised by mass tourism, although new types of alternative tourism have emerged in recent years, one of which is ecotourism. The introduction of ecotourism has had a varying impact, both positive and negative, on tourist destinations. With the aim of reducing any negative effects, all local stakeholders who can affect or be affected by tourism must therefore be taken into account, and their participation in managing and developing this activity must be encouraged. Local communities should be taken into particular consideration and should always be the first to benefit from the introduction of ecotourism.
