Abstract
Sustainable tourism can be fundamentally contextualized as an emergent amalgamation between mass and alternative tourism, which from the perspective of resolution-based dialectics respectively position as the thesis and antithesis. The sustainable tourism synthesis, however, is skewed in favor of mass tourism because of its magnitude and pervasiveness as well as the internal contradictions of alternative tourism. The resultant construct, emerging universally through distinctive incremental, organic and induced trajectories, can therefore be described as enlightened mass tourism, wherein ethical impulses from alternative tourism are accommodated potentially through corporate social responsibility and other contemporary forces. Case studies from Bhutan, Dominica, Spain, and South Korea illustrate the trajectories.
