Abstract
As we know, the definition of sustainable development initially established a basic principle under which it was believed that the present generation should meet its needs without compromising those of future generations (WCED, 1987). The sustainability of tourism even today, despite having had different variations in its conceptualization, is not a cultural paradigm easily summarized in a single definition. This makes it difficult to quantify and control it. However, the development of new analytical approaches is largely facilitated by the possibility of using a number of indica- tors. Indicators already identified in several papers in various in- ternational organizations. In the work we will try, after a brief review of some indicators related to the sustainability of tourism, to address specific issues related to measurement tourist pressure on the territory.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
