Ten Best U.S. Sustainable Tourism Destinations for 2019

  1. Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Missouri is near Branson in the Missouri Ozark Mountains. It was developed by conservationist John Morris as an exquisite sustainable destination that respects the sanctity of nature and promotes the protection of the environment. It offers rustic outdoor activities, natural beauty and an area rich in heritage and history.
  2. Vermont: sometimes referred to as the Green Mountain State. Vermont, as much as any American state, has worked to preserve those qualities that support the unique scenic countryside, lively small towns, historic streetscapes and environmental and social-sustainability practices. The State provides excellent stewardship of its natural and built resources.
  3. Sundance Mountain Resort in Sundance, Utah depicts the serenity of nature in all its splendor; highlights the culture and spirit of the local population. Sundance was a concept conceived by actor/conservationist Robert Redford, a strong supporter of nature, history, heritage, and culture. Sundance is a very special sustainable tourism destination.
  4. Kauai: Na Pali Coast in Hawaii is touted as one of the most beautiful places on earth. The unbelievable emerald green sea cliffs, the hidden lava rock caves, waterfalls and the uninhabited beaches present rugged grandeur. Napali Coast State Wilderness Park provides opportunities for hiking and viewing the extraordinary beauty of the place.
  5. Kansas Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve: this unique U.S. Preserve near Strong City, Kansas contains the only major preservation of prairie tallgrass, once prevalent throughout much of the U.S. The Preserve includes the rich history, culture and ecology of this prairie destination, once the hunting grounds for the Kansa, Wichita, Pawnee, and Osage Indians.
  6. Bald Head Island, North Carolina: an island of wild beauty; a delightful place to reside or visit. The developers, in the 1980s, made a conscious decision to preserve the maritime forest and pursue only electric carts as the primary mode of transportation which serves to protect the island's natural environment. It's a wonderful place for biking and hiking.
  7. Charleston, South Carolina: a most pleasant and charming city enjoyed by both residents and visitors. The history, heritage, and culture of the city have been wonderfully preserved and the community is vigilant that tourism does not damage the city's authenticity and sense of place or negatively impact on the local resident's quality of life.
  8. Yellowstone National Park (located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho): represents environmental stewardship at its best in protecting and preserving nature and wildlife for easy viewing by visitors. A visitor to Yellowstone, interested in wildlife, will see a broad spectrum of animals. The scenic beauty of the mountains, landscapes and waterways is unbelievable.
  9. Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska: the park is near the size of Switzerland and represents a huge awesome expanse of unbridled nature. Visitors can't wait to leave their tour buses to see and photograph the beauty of the park and view its wildlife in its natural setting. It offers viewings of 39 species of mammals and 169 species of birds. 
  10. Mackinac Island, Michigan: a truly eco-friendly utopia. Cars are absent from this strip of land along beautiful Lake Huron. Many residents and visitors use horses (among other non-mechanized means of transport) to get around. Mackinac Island State Park covers three-fourths of the island and provides a sanctuary for nature and wildlife.

Chris Ryan

Since the last newsletter, I have given keynote talks at the Tourism Tribune Conference in Beijing and the Human Geography Conference in Wuhu, both events being held in October 2018. At the latter conference, with my former doctoral student, Zhang Xiaoyu, we won an award for a best research paper for an examination of Grand View Gardens in Beijing (Daguanyuang) - a site that I have been visiting for over a decade. On this trip to China, I again visited the Gardens and signed a research agreement, and even as I write yet more data are being collected.  What was pleasing was that there were signs that past recommendations have been acted upon, and certainly, the signage and routes were looking very smart. In addition, I also gave presentations at Beijing Union University and South Anhui University.   

The same trip also permitted yet another visit to the Fuxi Mausoleum, and again the signing of another research agreement with the County Director of Huaiyang, which currently is engaged in the reconstruction of an 'ancient town'.  I am getting used to these new "old" towns, and believe that they serve a real purpose in contemporary Chinese tourism and have the potential to avoid "over-tourism" - and there is certainly potential for rewriting the literature on "authenticity" - a much-misunderstood term when transferred from Western to Chinese cultures in my view.  

Back in New Zealand, research continues at the Waikato UNWTO INSTO site at Raglan, and at the Apac- and Euro-Chrie conferences, if accepted, I hope to present some of our findings on the complex issue of peer-to-peer sites and housing - my view is that the Airbnb phenomenon is a symptom of wider issues and a not a cause. Increasingly I adhere to a view that tourism needs to be embedded in wider socio-political systems.   Also, in the last month, I have been asked to look at tourism at Te Whakawerawera, the "living" Maori village of 25 households in the geothermal area of Rotorua. 

As some of you may have seen on Trinet, we have commenced planning for a Conference in December 2019, that will include at least one session in Mandarin, a conference dinner at the Vista Conference Centre at Zealong, New Zealand's award-winning tea plantation, and a business symposium. It will be a conference a little different from others as it will be last such conference I will be organising.

Meanwhile, Tourism Management continues to attract manuscripts, and in January alone I have dealt with more than 100 submissions. It keeps me out of trouble!
