Whether ten years is a meaningful length of time in the life of a journal – not least one committed to a long-term concept like sustainable development – is open to debate. Writing in 1798, the English poet William Wordsworthfound five years a long time: ‘Five years have passed; five summers with the length of five long winters!’ But he had had a rather traumatic period from 1793–1798, experiencing at first hand the French Revolution and undergoing numerous personal crises (Gill, 1998). In terms of sustainable tourism’s development as a subject, ten years is a relatively short period. What, if anything, can be claimed to have been achieved in the 1990s? One fundamental issue to consider is that of the survival of a lively debate about sustainable tourism. Ten years ago some commentators – privately or publicly – assumed that sustainable tourism would be a fad, a passing interest. They thought that it would be rejected and soon forgotten because it appeared to be opposed to commercial development, threatening business with impossible limits to growth. Others felt that it would become a less prominent concept as it had little mass-market appeal: sustainable tourism, perhaps like ecotourism, would become a minority activity. But, ten years on, the worst predictions of these pessimists have been proved wrong. Many of the tourism industry’s stakeholders still regard the sustainable tourism debate to be as relevant as ever, and perhaps more so. A second notable point is that today many more international bodies, governments and businesses, and even some communities and tourists claim to accept the concept of sustainable tourism. Of course the interpretations of sustainable tourism adopted by these organisations and individuals vary very markedly, and an acceptance of an idea does not necessarily mean that it affects their own activities to any great extent. During the 1990s there has been a huge expansion in academic debate about sustainable tourism, with some of these deliberations filling the expanding number of pages of this journal. Many tourism researchers now do not favour the relatively parochial sector-specific uses of the term sustainable tourism, preferring instead to see tourism issues as a facet of the broader concerns of sustainable development. Another view that has emerged is that the search for a single approach is unhelpful. Sustainable development entails developing differing approaches according to specific contexts, carefully linked to the needs and preferences of the various affected stakeholders. Other research is exploring the view
