Blurb

As climate change continues to threaten the viability of wine regions, sustainable practices have become essential for the survival of the sector. In this context, wine tourism must minimize cultural and environmental damage while improving the economic and social well-being of the region.

In line with SDG 8, in particular target 8.9, this book argues that wine tourism can be considered as a catalyst for the environmental sustainability of wineries. Chapters highlight the economic, socioeconomic, environmental, socio-cultural impact of wine tourism around the world, before concluding with a look to the future trends and challenges. It features best practices from around the world that wineries and wine tourism companies can incorporate into their core business functions to make their operations more sustainable and also showcases how wineries have designed their tourism offerings to meet sustainable tourism development objectives.
