Destinations wanting to promote sustainable tourism are more likely to be successful when there is effective governance…….But in practice there are substantial difficulties that can hinder effective governance for sustainable tourism” (Bramwell, 2011:461).

In the broader context of critiquing sustainable tourism and its success ensure you use examples of both developing and developed destinations.
