This monograph explores the concept of sustainability in the context of heritage and tourism studies, as well as examining the practices adopted to realize or enhance the sustainability of these industries. Beginning with a broad overview, outlining the theory and scholarly landscape, this book then focuses on cases of sustainable tourism in Japan, exploring the concept of ‘mottainai’. Mottainai is a traditional Japanese term and means an ethical attitude towards the use of a range of resources needed for human life. This Japanese word can be understood as ‘what a waste’, and can promote the environmentally-friendly way of life, encouraging reduce, reuse and recycle. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of heritage, tourism, and sustainability management; both those interested in Japan specifically, and those who are interestedin new approaches for sustainability in heritage and tourism management. Takamitsu Jimura is Professor in Tourism, Culture and Heritage at Musashi University, Japan. His key research interests include cultural heritage and tourism, tourism and destination marketing and sustainable tourism. He is especially interested in exploring the impacts of World Heritage Site designation on tourism development, local communities, and heritage management and conservation activities
