Full Description
Climate change has put the survival and
viability of wine-growing regions at risk. Whereas the implementation of sustainable
approaches was once seen as a source of competitive advantage, it is now critical
to the survival of the industry. Wine
tourism should therefore aim to minimize possible cultural and environmental
damage while improving the economic and social well-being of the wine-growing
region.
Contributing to the targets of SDG 8, specifically target 8.9: 'By 2030,
devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism that creates jobs
and promotes local culture and products,' this book argues that wine tourism can
be considered as a catalyst for the environmental sustainability of wineries. Chapters
highlight the economic, socioeconomic, environmental, socio-cultural impact of
wine tourism around the world, before concluding with a look to the future trends
and challenges. Itfeatures best practices from around the world that wineries
and wine tourism companies can incorporate into their core business functions
to make their operations more sustainable and also showcases how wineries have designed
their tourism offerings to meet sustainable tourism development objectives
