Over the past 75 years, and even before that time span, some tourists have been identified as behaving destructively, unsafely and unsustainably. Such behaviours disturb other tourists, cost communities, reduce business profitability and impair life across the planet (Gössling, 2018). The attempts to reduce these negative consequences have been varied; they are not always successful and are likely to be creatively modified for the remainder of the twenty-first century. A summary table identifies key actions for limiting the disturbing tourist behaviour.
A short review is the requested style of this piece.
Much remains to be done though some successes are the likely basis for further effort.
This is a new summary, integrating much diverse material and built on very recent work and learning on the author's contributions to appear in Tourist Behaviour The Essential Companion Edward Elgar 2019.
