| Abstract: | This paper aims at identifying the current challenges facing the sustainable development (hereafter as: s-d.) of island tourism (here as: i-trsm.) and to develop a new conceptual approach to s-d. based on optimisation. The optimisation process for i-trsm. will be discussed through the new life cycle model development - the multifunctional interactive process cycle calibrated based on a set of 15 i-trsm. status indicators. It is also aimed at explaining how a complex and dynamic tourism system can be developed taking a destination towards an optimal sustainable state in order to satisfy the local community and visitors. |
