    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Social geography; Ecology; Zanzibar; world system theory; sustainable tourism; sustainable development; rainforests; human-environmental relations; groundwater; environmental consciousness; ecotourism; ecosystem functions; economic transition; cost-benefit analysis; coastal zone management; coastal communities; climate change; Air-traffic; biodiversity; Environmental technology; pollution control; Ekologi; Zanzibar; Socialgeografi; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis aims at deconstructing the sustainable tourism paradigm: can tourism be "a global strategy for sustainable development", as the tourist industry claims? And will developing countries in particular profit from tourism development?To most international organizations and institutions (from the World Wide Fund for Nature to The World Bank), tourism, if carefully managed, is a positive, sustainable development tool. However, the research presented in this thesis exposes this view as unrealistically optimistic for at least three reasons: first of all, global environmental change caused by tourism has never been investigated and integrated with the discourse on sustainable tourism development.
