Is Sustainable Tourism Really Sustainable?: Critical Evaluations Towards Sustainable TourismÇakıcı, AbdulcelilEvren, SavaşEvren, Emine ŞimşekÇakır, OnurOtelcilik, Konaklama, Spor ve TurizmKamu YönetimiÇevre ÇalışmalarıThis study was carried out in order to reveal a criticism about the phenomenon of sustainable tourism. In this context, by reviewing the existing literature, the studies conducted on sustainable tourism criticisms were collected. Then, the criticism points revealed in these studies were determined with the method of systematical literature review, and based on these criticism points the main criticism dimensions of sustainable tourism were identified. In this context, it has been understood that there are five dimensions regarding to sustainable tourism criticisms. These dimensions are hypocrisy, vagueness/ambiguity, delusions, theory-practice inconsistency and inadequacy of literature. In this context, the hypocrisies in current practice, conceptual and semantic ambiguities, the delusions that shift people's focus in different directions, the inconsistencies that arise from the inability of the theories to adapt to practice and the missing aspects of the literature have been evaluated. Using sustainability only as a marketing tool, ambiguity of what is to be sustained, industry's misdirecting with sustainable discourses, theories that do not turn into practice, and vicious circles in examined themes despite the growth in number of studies were identified as main criticisms.2019Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/gumushane/18019trGümüşhane Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://gumushane-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/gumushane/18019
