ABSTRACT
The second key word in our analysis of tourism is sustainability, a notion that at its most basic encapsulates the growing concern for the environment and natural resources, though sustainability has also had increasing resonance in social and economic issues. Just as processes of globalisation are implicated in the drawing of Third World destinations into the sphere of tourism, so too notions of sustainability are closely related and disproportionately reflected in the Third World as concern for the health of the planet has resulted in the emergence of a globalised environmental politics.
