Annotated Bibliography
Executive summary
The annotated bibliography provides comprehensive discussion on ‘sustainable tourism development’ in light of different facets and places. The core definition and meaning of sustainable tourism is ‘meeting needs of present tourists while restoring future ones’. For this, tourist destinations need to be effectively managed on grounds of economic, environment and socio-cultural. Sustainable tourism development practices apply to all forms of tourism and types of destinations, including mass and niche
tourism segments. The selected contemporary articles discussed sustainable tourism development in different contexts and destinations. On reviewing findings of articles, it is found that sustainability helps in improving environmental, economic and socio-cultural aspects of tourism development. It is necessary to synchronise and establish perfect balance between all three dimensions for guaranteeing and ensuring long term sustainability of a tourist destination. The three core results derived from article review are tourist destination need to ensure optimal use of environmental resources, maintaining ecological processes, conserving natural heritage and biodiversity, secondly, socio-cultural authenticity of host communities should be preserved, lastly, economic operations need to provide socio-economic benefits to all stakeholders. In this regard, sustainable tourism development requires active involvement and participation of all stakeholders, as well as, informed leadership for consensus building.

Summary of article
United Nations initiative of sustainable production and consumption is the main discussion area of the article. The article states six focus areas of sustainable production and consumption among which sustainable tourism development is discussed in the article. This is done in lieu of the assumption that tourism industry is one of the essential economic sectors significantly contributing country’s GDP. In recent years, consumers are also depicting increasing level interest in ethical and sustainable consumption, they are becoming more salient towards ethical issues, accordingly undertake different behaviour in their daily lives.

Rationale for the research methods
Primary research method using questionnaire with the sample size of 322 respondents of New Zealand population is provided with the set of questions measuring ethical behaviour. This questionnaire forms the main part of the research method including several questions regarding ethical behaviours. Primary research method seems appropriate due to its feature of including several questions regarding ethical behaviour. Moreover, ethical behaviour is a variable concept which changes and takes different shape every day. Therefore, different sources such as specialist websites, magazines and popular media sources are used for developing questions regarding ethical tourist behaviour.
Major ideas about sustainable tourism development
Ethical behaviour, an essential component of sustainable tourism development is the main discussion area of the research study. The main idea of the study is based on tourism context arguing the fact that there is considerable difference in people’s everyday ethical behaviour and travel behaviour. In this context, ethical tourist behaviour questionnaire is developed for actualising and gaining practical insight regarding variable influencing tourist behaviour. In accordance to the environment deterioration, resource depletion and population growth, it seems highly necessary to infuse practice of ethical behaviour among tourists. The ethical behaviour among tourists here means with the acts and behaviour of tourists contributing to environment sustainability, careful and optimum use of resources in a manner restoring tourist destination for future generations.
Key findings and conclusions
The ethical tourist behaviour questionnaire provides information about ethical travel behaviour and everyday behaviour. There is significant difference in both behaviour contexts as people’s ethical travel behaviour is based on careful selection of holiday destination, choosing sustainable form of transport, employing locals, re-using water bottles, etc. On the other hand, everyday people behaviour is based on perceiving and implementing ‘green and clean’ environment concept based on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, volunteering or donating to local environment projects, and so on.
