All-inclusive Resorts, Cruises and Sustainability. The Perspective of the Corfu Community

Local communities in Corfu perceive all-inclusive resorts and cruises with mixed views on sustainability, highlighting tensions between economic benefits and environmental impacts. The study, conducted through questionnaires, reveals that while residents acknowledge the importance of tourism for their livelihoods, they also express concerns about overdevelopment, noise pollution, and the strain on local infrastructure. This case study underscores the complexity of balancing tourism growth with sustainable practices, offering insights into how communities grapple with the concept of sustainability in a high-tourism destination.
