discuss:
1.  Is STBT valid in developed countries？If isn't, why?
2. What dimensions should be considered if we want to develop a similar tool for evaluating the sustainable tourism of developed countries?

1. The significance of STBT to the tourism development in developing countries.
2. Which countries benefited from the STBT？]]> 2022-04-06 04:42:21 UTC https://padlet.com/suraiyati/r0g6x196t0m0jx95/wish/2131968213 https://padlet.com/suraiyati/r0g6x196t0m0jx95/wish/2131969788 (talk about questions "main objective of this paper,  the method used for analysis")
Social Progress Index:It is divided in to 3 parts,basic human needs ,foundations of wellbeing and opportunity

discuss:
What's the main objective of STBT? What's the method of STBT? How to use STBT appropriately？

key words:
1. main objective: detects the sustainability problems; helps policymakers to make informed decisions
2. method: seven key dimensions; seven key dimensions; ]]> 2022-04-06 04:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/suraiyati/r0g6x196t0m0jx95/wish/2131969788 https://padlet.com/suraiyati/r0g6x196t0m0jx95/wish/2137310478 This paper will provide a unified methodology to assess tourism sustainability, based on several quantitative indicators. The proposed methodological framework will provide several benchmarks against which the sustainability of tourism activities in various countries can be assessed. The STBT methodology developed in this paper relies on quantitative indicators that are policy-relevant and, as such, it is hoped that it will become a useful tool for decision makers, researchers and businesses involved in tourism activities in developing countries. ]]> 2022-04-09 11:33:44 UTC https://padlet.com/suraiyati/r0g6x196t0m0jx95/wish/2137310478 https://padlet.com/suraiyati/r0g6x196t0m0jx95/wish/2137311146 The following steps were followed to construct STBT.  
First, seven key dimensions were singled out, namely:  
• tourism assets; 
• tourism activity; 
• tourism-related linkages; 
• tourism-related leakages; 
• environmental and social sustainability; 
• overall infrastructure 
• attractiveness 

Second, once these dimensions defined, the next step was to find appropriate indicators that could capture essential aspects of each dimension. Third, the indicators were scaled to allow cross-country comparisons. Fourth, the indicators were placed on a conceptual chart that frames the specific issues addressed by the STBT. ]]> 2022-04-09 11:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/suraiyati/r0g6x196t0m0jx95/wish/2137311146 https://padlet.com/suraiyati/r0g6x196t0m0jx95/wish/2137313360 This article uses three developing country case studies to illustrate that while STBT may need further refinement and elaboration, STBT can be a valuable tool for researchers and policymakers involved in evaluating and designing sustainable tourism strategies. The same level of tourism activity may lead to different types of improvements and may have different impacts on development. The advantage of adopting STBT is that grouping many countries into one analytical toolbox is relevant and does not remove the heterogeneity aspect.Therefore, The STBT could form a solid basis for a rigorous analysis that could shed further light on the main problems detected by conducting country specific studies by following a consistent methodology that allows comparability of results across tourist destinations.]]> 2022-04-09 11:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/suraiyati/r0g6x196t0m0jx95/wish/2137313360
