Project summary
The tourism industry is one of the fastest-growing economic sphere in Malaysia and Japan. Given a wealth of literatures assessing the sustainable development of tourism at various scales, sustainability is still regarded as value-laden and ambiguous due to contextual differences, thus sustainable development of local community needs to be understood through the lens of responsible management. Accordingly, this project seeks to explore more indicators of responsible tourism management and examine the inter-relationship among those indicators that influence the sustainable development of local communities from both a macroscopic and microscopic views.
