Abstract(s)
A ideia fundamental deste trabalho é a de que os perigos ambientais têm implicações económicas, na medida em que constituem, a longo prazo "a cama onde nos deitamos". Isto é assim essencialmente no caso do turismo, o qual, até certo ponto, depende de um meio-ambiente agradável e atractivo. Procura mostrar-se que pequenas ilhas como Malta dependem, em larga medida, do turismo, e que existem perigos ecológicos correlacionados com essa dependência. A questão relacionada com quem pagará a degradação associada ao ambiente e o aspecto do desenvolvimento sustentado são analisados face a esta realidade. O trabalho faz referência a um número de sugestões para a adopção de uma política de turismo que integre os progressos económico, ambiental e cultural.
ABSTRACT: The basic contention of the paper is that environmental dangers have economic implications, in that they "soil one's own nest" in the long run. This is especially so in the case of tourism, which to an extent depends on a pleasant and attractive environment. It is shown that small islands like Malta depend to a large degree on tourism, and that there are ecological dangers associated with such dependence. The question as to who is to pay for environmental degradation associated and the issue of sustainable development are discussed against this reality. The paper puts forward a number of suggestions for the adoption of a tourism policy which integrates economic, environmental and cultural advancement.
