Conclusions

Abstract

This concluding chapter is explicitly comparative in orientation. It analytically draws the similarities and the heterogeneities of the themes, frameworks, and policies introduced and discussed in the previous chapters. It also highlights the new contributions that emerge from the chapters for both scholars and practitioners. The main issues that a conjoint perusal of the various contributions to the book allow to highlight are: (a) the role played by public policies in fostering solutions that aim at increasing the sustainability of transport in tourist destinations; (b) the role of collaboration among stakeholders and of networks for the implementation of sustainable transport policies and strategies; (c) the importance of the availability of information both on the supply side and on the demand side of the tourist market; and (d) the importance of considering the trends of transport demand of tourists.
