Linkin Tourism and resilience: An alternative route to sustainability

Abstract

This study of the link between tourism and resilience outlines the origin and meanings that the latter has assumed today. It reflects on how the methodologies that examine the resilient behavior of individuals, or of resilient actions in the environment, can be incorporated into tourism to promote its sustainability. To support this reflection, we conducted bibliographical, electronic and documental research. Thus, seeking to link tourism and resilience, this study reflects on the incorporation of approaches to resilience (such as those of SOBRARE and UNISDR) in the management and planning of sustainable tourism.
