This paper deals with one of the most important challenges that are faced by tourism destinations in both, developing and developed economies: how to make tourism attend the long term interests and needs of different stakeholders, while stills attend to short term market demands. In this paper, we will see that to achieve this complex equilibrium, it is imperative to count on good governance.
The paper reflects on the importance of the processes of tourism policy development and destination management being truly participatory, and on management tools that may stimulate multi-sectorial collaboration, since these practices are basic elements to achieving equity and inclusive development.

This case study describes the innovative mainstream approach used by SNV Mozambique to link the tourism sector closer to the local economy and basic service provision. It also examines how the tourism economic development can be made more pro-poor and subsequently involve and increase the income and well-being of local people. SNV works with a large cluster of diversified actors representing the private and public sectors, associations, local NGO’s and informal groups. Building confidence between the groups, facilitating networking activities and building platforms are essential SNV activities. The process is on-going since early 2007 with the first tangible results starting to show in the second quarter of 2008.
Este artículo intenta alertar a la comunidad académica sobre la importancia de realizar investigaciones de base técnico-científica que tengan como objeto de investigación el fenómeno del turismo sexual, teniendo como objeto de estudios tanto a la demanda como a la propia oferta.

No texto que se segue deve ficar ilustrada a importância da prática e da fi-losofia cooperativa para o desenvolvimento de estruturas com maior potencial de sucesso na atividade turística. A análise enfatiza a integração entre os setores público, privado e so-ciedade civil organizada. Para tanto, após breve introdução, discute-se em detalhes a tecno-logia de formação de clusters de turismo como ferramenta para o desenvolvimento e para a sustentabilidade de um destino turístico. Após a exposição deste modelo de estruturação, internacionalmente reconhecido como eficiente, passa-se à discussão dos fundamentos da cooperação enquanto prática e filosofia para a organização de clusters de turismo. Dentro desta mesma discussão será avaliada a integração entre os três macro-elementos mais rele-vantes para a atividade em estudo que são a iniciativa privada, o poder público e a socieda-de civil organizada. Para concluir expõe-se a atitude cooperativa como força motriz e elemento de coesão e sustentação das estruturas entendidas como clusters de turismo.
