This timely and innovative volume undertakes a comprehensive exploration of how local practices intersect with global processes within a tourism and sustainability context, providing detailed insights and practical applications that can be applied to tourist destinations globally.Iinterdisciplinary in character, the volume focuses on two adjacent areas in Southeast Sweden, the island of Öland and the Småland region. It provides illustrative extended case studies to extract valuable insights applicable to diverse contexts. This localized approach enables researchers to discern patterns, identify challenges, and devise solutions that can be adapted and implemented in various tourist destinations globally. The variety of topics identified within the case area, and which are featured through the chapters of the volume (i.e., destination marketing, the sharing economy, rural entrepreneurship, water scarcity, heritage preservation, national park branding, the cultural and creative economy), make it unique in its approach to integrate multiple local practices within a case area into a framework that had wider implications beyond the regional level.This volume will be of pivotal interest to scholars, students and academics of tourism and sustainability, as well as practitioners.

The links between islands and tourism, as sights of pleasure is embodied in the touristification of sun, sand and sea. Islandscapes are central to the tourist imaginaries that shape islands as touristified places - curated, designed and commodified for both mass tourism and more niche inclined versions. Yet while islands are parlayed for touristic pleasure seekers, islands are also home to longstanding communities that have variously battled with the tyranny of distance from metropolitan centres, as well as the everyday challenges of climate change effects, and benefitted from their isolation from modern-day pressures. To what extent are islandscapes resilient to rapidly changing utilities, significances and ways of life wrought by tourism expansion? The vulnerability-resilience duality remains firmly entrenched in the discourse on islands where tourism has become prominent. Although tourism provides some resiliency, overall, islandscapes remain subject to externally driven fast and slow change that exercises an overwhelming influence. This anthology of articles previously published in the journal Shima explores emergent themes that describe how island peoples adapt and respond in localised cultural islandscapes as a consequence of tourism expansion. It is aimed at researchers in island studies, tourism, sustainability, human geography, cultural studies, sociology and anthropology. The anthology will also be of interest to those with an abiding interest in the trajectories of islands and their peoples, particularly where tourism has come to shape islandscapes.
