Tourism is one of the world's greatest contributors to economic growth, generating significant revenue, creating employment opportunities, and attracting substantial investments to destination communities worldwide. As tourism becomes an economic mainstay for many of these communities, authorities increasingly promote the arrival of ever-growing numbers of visitors. However, this increased visitation has significant social, cultural, environmental, and psychological impacts on destination communities, often negatively affecting residents' quality of life and well-being. Current approaches to measuring the impacts of tourism often overlook its negative consequences, focusing instead on metrics such as tourist numbers, revenue, and taxes. It is essential to understand, measure, and address the full range of tourism's economic, social, environmental, and psychological effects. This book introduces the knowledge, methods, measurement practices, and management tools necessary to explore and optimize tourism's impact on residents' quality of life, health, and well-being in various types of tourist destinations.
