IT, Sligo Lecturer Dr. James Hanrahan’s new work develops the first baseline study of host community participation in sustainable tourism planning at Local Authority level in Ireland.
The principal aims of this book are to critically examine host communities’ current participation in sustainable tourism planning and to determine the extent to which sustainable tourism planning is evident within Local Authorities CDPs in Ireland.
A multi-method approach was used, incorporating interviews with planners in Local Authorities across Ireland. The findings bring into question the ability of the Local Authorities to plan for tourism in a sustainable manner, in which host community participation plays a vital role.
