Sustainability or resilience? Preparing the future of tour guiding in tourism (Invited talk)

Sustainability mitigates or prevents change by maintaining resources above a normative safe level, whereas resilience adapts to change by attempting to build capacity to return to a desired state following both anticipated and unanticipated disruptions. Sustainability emphasizes aspirational goals associated with the careful use of resources and ensuring provision for future generations. Resilience is pragmatic and inclusive of a range of responses that may or may not align with sustainability principles. This presentation will reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of both paradigms in preparing tour guides for the volatile future of tourism.status: publishe
