Sustainable Tourism Development

Tourism development is believed to be able to improve the economy of local communities, even tourism development is one strategy in reducing poverty, especially in rural communities. But in Indonesia rapid tourism development has the potential to isolate the economy of local communities. This occurs because the tourism business is managed on a large scale by the private sector. Various studies support that this weakness occurs because there is no maximum empowerment of local communities in managing it, so that the community loses control of tourism development. This study aims to interrogate how collaborative leadership is carried out to support sustainable tourism development and how collaborative leadership should be carried out as an effort to effectively increase tourism's contribution to the local economy. To analyze this, this study uses four collaborative leadership variables namely embracing, empowering, involving and mobilizing. The method used is literature study and interview. Research locus in Karanganyar Regency. The results of the analysis show that there is no maximum empowerment of local communities in developing sustainable tourism because of there are obstacles in implementing collaboration are from the agenda of screening and integration of political aspects. This research also suggests that in order to achieve sustainable tourism development it is necessary to develop institutions in the embracing process in the collaborative leadership agenda as well as cooperation between regions. Thus, this paper can contribute theoretically in linking between collaborative leadership models and institutional development for effective sustainable tourism development.

The full and comprehensive inclusion of sustainable tourism in Russian tourism studies and thematic plans of disciplines at the present time are particularly important nowadays. Meanwhile we can note very superficial and simplified understanding of the concept of sustainable development in tourism, when they simply proclaim the necessity of taking into account natural, social limitations, and interests of the local economy, but at the same time, the Russian researchers and teachers do not have enough awareness of all the possible refractions of this problem. Passed at the 22nd of September 2016 in RSUTS scientific-practical seminar «Sustainable rural tourism in Russia» was drafted to help resolve the identified problems. Leading international and Russian experts in the field of sustainable tourism development gave the examples of their own researches which demonstrate the breadth and multi-dimensionality of sustainability in tourism. There were presented and illustrated with the method of case studies such topics as 1) the correlation of center and periphery as a factor in the long-term sustainability in tourism; 2) service orientation as a factor of long-term competitiveness of destinations; 3) the problem of finding the optimal balance between state regulation and ethnic autonomy; 4) the interests of local residents and their informing with the positive results of tourism development; 5) factor of liminality in tourist experiences; 6) avoidance of excessive standardization and universalization of tourism products as a factor of competitiveness of peripheral destinations; 7) the concept of touristscapes and taskscapes; 8) optimal route network and reference point for the sustainable development of tourism; 9) the importance of tourism for the depressed rural settlements of Russia; 10) the peculiarities of small businesses processes in rural tourism, 11) entrepreneurship as the factor of increase of stability and competitiveness of the tourism industry under crisis conditions. These and other aspects of sustainable tourism development were the subject of extensive discussion at the scientific-practical seminar, which resulted in a more complete understanding of the paradigm of sustainability in the current realities of the Russian tourism industry.

The purpose of this publication consisted in the systematization of the academic content of the reports and scientific messages, and the explanation of how they can contribute to strengthening the concept of sustainable tourism as a comprehensive and productive paradigm in tourism research and education-conceptual approach.

This paper is intended as a contribution to the debate on tourism sustainability and the need to involve local communities in planning practices, key to sustainable tourism. The community-based approach has been widely theorized and used in projects of sustainable tourism development, because it tends to maximize the participation of local population from the earliest stages of development and affect tourism policies, while also responding to the changing needs of contemporary tourists, especially in terms of development of niche and special-interest tourism. The only exception is in the construction of the tourist imaginary: the involvement of the community in this fundamental sphere has always been scarce, with the result that often there is a strong imbalance – even dissonance – between the image promoted through the marketing, that continuously re-shaped by the locals and that experienced by the tourists. This contribution will explore the creation of tourism imaginary as negotiated activity. Received: 03 February 2021Accepted: 01 March 2021
