Agenda 21, local authorities and tourism in the UK

Abstract

The United Nations World Congress on the Environment and Development witnessed the launch of Agenda 21, accepted by over 150 States and local governments throughout the globe. Such support is essential to the realization of this Agenda and nowhere more so than at the local level. This is explicitly recognized in the Agenda by Chapter 28 which outlines the role and objectives for local authorities-in particular local authorities were asked to prepare plans for a local Agenda 21 (LA21) by the end of 1996. This paper reports on a study, initiated in 1995, which investigated the extent to which tourism, as one domain of overall local environmental management had been incorporated into the implementation of Agenda 21. Preliminary findings suggest little awareness of the significance of LA21 to policy development in tourism and of an institutional separation between the local authority management of LA21 and tourism.
