Book Description:
Voluntary initiatives such as eco labels and certification schemes, prizes and awards, environmental management systems, codes of conduct, self commitments and self declarations play an increasing role in regulating tourism operations. Notwithstanding their value, the increasing number, variety and popularity of these voluntary schemes stress the need for consolidation. This study, based on the analysis of 104 voluntary initiatives world wide, provides an evaluation of the effectiveness of existing schemes. It identifies similarities and differences among voluntary initiatives and outlines the factors that make them successful in terms of sustainable tourism development. Based on the results, guidelines are made available to tourism companies wishing to adopt any of these voluntary schemes; organizations that run these initiatives, in order to improve existing schemes or create new ones; as well as for governments and NGOs, to provide them with technical criteria and guidelines for the support and supervision they may wish to give to these initiatives.
