Resumo(s)
The implications of the concept of ‘sustainable tourism’ are not clearly defined as they relate
to Northern Vancouver Island leading to difficulties in tourism planning. A solution to this
problem will be presented through a novel approach to tourism management using a
combination of Factor Analysis, Adaptive Management, and a modified DPSIR (Driver-
Pressure, State, Impact, Response) framework, based on community perception. The
approach will provide a pragmatic framework for sustainable tourism development and is
especially applicable when recognizing the complex and adaptive nature of tourism as a
social-ecological system. This analysis will focus on sustainable tourism theory actualization
at a regional scale (Northern Vancouver Island, BC, Canada). The identified latent variables
(factors) indicate a common origin of impact perception, thus factors can be used to identify
common pressures in the causal nexus to develop proactive and long-term responses.
Recommendations are made for government regulators and tourism operators that recognize
the need for continuous improvement through the inclusion of adaptive management for
sustainable development of coastal tourism.
