Book excerpt: "This report explores the broad issues involved in making and maintaining sustainable tourism in rural and regional areas. It has three parts, each of which comprises a discussion of the topic in general, lessons about the topic from the four case studies, and recommended future action. After the four regional tourism precincts are introduced, the first part explores the concept of a precinct and working understandings of a tourism precinct. It concludes with a definition of a tourism precinct in a rural or regional area. The four regional tourism precincts are cited as exemplars throughout this report. The second part concentrates on the three key areas of sustainability: the community, the environment and the economy, and their relationship with tourism precincts in rural and regional areas." --p. vi.
