Degrowing tourism: rethinking tourism (2019, background): “Hall (2009) advocated a degrowth perspective to address transitioning tourism to a “steady-state economy” which he described as encouraging “qualitative development but not aggregate quantitative growth to the detriment of natural capital” (p. 57).”
What could the next 40 years hold for global tourism? (2015, background): “While the United Nations Environment Programme (2012) green growth and Yeoman’s (2012) low growth scenario for 2050 international arrivals represent limited growth from 2030 to 2050, none of the projections approximates a steady-state scenario as discussed by Hall (2009).”
Framing behavioural approaches to understanding and governing sustainable tourism consumption: beyond neoliberalism, “nudging” and “green growth”? (2013, methodology): “…are extremely problematic, given the arithmetic constraints of growth and efficiency limits, governance and market limits, and system limits (Hall, 2009a; Hoffmann, 2011), as well as the general failure of many assessments of green economic growth and sustainable consumption to consider…”
Policy learning and policy failure in sustainable tourism governance: from first- and second-order to third-order change? (2011, background): “In a prescient observation of what would now be described as the “hypermobile” (Gössling, Ceron, Dubios, & Hall, 2009), Gleditsch (1975, p. 91) “hypothesized . . . that topdogs will secure a disproportionately high share of the advantages and a disproportionately low share of the disadvantages of…”
Post COVID-19 ecological and social reset: moving away from capitalist growth models towards tourism as Buen Vivir (2020, background): “For Hall (2009), the slow consumption of tourism can be linked to degrowth and links to the post-development notion of ‘rightsizing’ through providing economic alternatives to the growth model.”
Tourism, inclusive growth and decent work: a political economy critique (2020, background): “Scholarly attention in sustainable tourism has moved away from a conservationist resource management focus towards diverse and rigorous theoretical inspection of concerns related to inter alia, destination governance (Bramwell, 2011; Dredge & Jamal, 2013) sustainable livelihoods (Tao & Wall, 2009), ”
Organic, incremental and induced paths to sustainable mass tourism convergence (2012, background): “Advocates of transformational approaches such as ‘slow tourism’ (Conway & Timms, 2010) and ‘degrowth’ (Hall, 2009) may argue that neither the status quo nor reform options are sufficient to address mega-issues such as climate change or even more localised problems.”
