Abstract

Despite of the growing importance of the sustainability in tourism, the measurement of this concept does not have yet a methodology with a broad international consensus, particularly at the local scale. This paper poses a methodology to create a set of indicator on tourism sustainability at a local level including not only the internationally comparable aspects of the sustainability but also the specific local aspects. As a most significant feature, the territorial dimension as a fundamental element for the analysis of the sustainability has been incorporated and the methods to receive assessments from different agents are specified.
