contents TOURISM AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL DESTINATIONS: A STAKEHOLDERS’ VIEW Celeste Eusébio Elisabeth Kastenholz Zélia Breda Estudios Territoriales Portugal Stakeholders Rural Tourism Schist Villages Local Communities The topic of sustainable development has become an increasingly popular field of research since the late 1980s, as a result of the report Our Common Future , which sug- gests the satisfaction of the current generationís needs without affecting those of future generations. Rural tourism has been identified as potentially contributing to sustaina- ble development, guaranteeing the satisfaction of all stake- holders, both from the demand and supply side, without jeopardizing natural, cultural and social resources. How- ever, there is empirical evidence pointing at a relatively modest role of rural tourism as a development tool, with this potential depending on several factors. It is in this context that the present paper analyses the views of sev- eral stakeholders of rural tourism in the Portuguese schist village Janeiro de Cima (visitors, residents, private sector supply agents, and local and regional tourism planning en- tities), regarding the tourism phenomenon in the village and its implications on sustainable development. These views were obtained through a qualitative approach, interviewing stakeholder groups, in the context of a larger three year research project, financed by FCT, analysing the overall rural tourism experience and its potential for sus- tainable tourism development at the village scale. 2014 artículo científico 1645-586X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=514351882002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5143 Revista Portuguesa de Estudos Regionais application/pdf Associação Portuguesa para o Desenvolvimento Regional Revista Portuguesa de Estudos Regionais (Portugal) Num.36
