Abstract(s)
The object of this article is to question and answer whether an international
normative instrument in tourism sustainability can be effectively implemented
into the local governance plan. The research focused on a set of exercise problems
of the governmental action put forth by a rural municipality, of low population
density, but featuring a strong tourist intensity characterized by a dominant
seasonal tourist-recreational-maritime activity: surf. Based on methodological
instruments of a systemic nature linked to sustainability and law, it was possible
to propose a municipal tourism sustainability charter adopted in 2017 by the
municipality of Aljezur, in the tourist region of Algarve, Portugal. This may well
be one of the first worldwide normative documents to adopt, complement and
operationalize at a local level multiple concerns, suggestions and recommendations
for local governance and sustainable tourism law originating from the
World Summit on Sustainable Tourism+ 20.
