Abstract
Sustainability has become a key concern since its articulation in the Brundtland Report of 1987. Originally, sustainability had a strong environmental focus, particularly from the 1993 Rio Earth Summit on Environment and Development. More recently, social concerns have come to the fore with new compaigns for corporate social responsibility and triple bottom-line reporting (examining the economic, environmental and social impacts of business). However, the social concerns in tourism are often limited. Sustainability discourse has not offered a more macro perspective on the social impacts of toruism.
