This is a rich area of literature and the Journal of Sustainable Tourism is obviously one place where you should look for material as mentioned above. If you are not familiar with tourism the top four journals (in alphabetical order,  as measured by SSCI Impact Factors are Annals of Tourism Research, Journal of Sustainable Tourism, Journal of Travel Research and Tourism Management. I would suggest you look at the publishers databases (Elsevier Science Direct, Taylor and Francis and Sage), enter key words and then look at the articles. The reference lists will take you other key journals (e.g. Current Issues in Tourism).  Some key authors in this area would include Stefan Gossling, David Scott, Richard Tol, Susanne Becken (again in no particular order).  For a general introductory text book see relevant chapters in my own book (sorry about this self advertising - but I still think these are good chapters - 'Recreational Tourism – impacts and demand', Clevedon: Channel View Press.2003 while Mike Hall has published while I also like Natural area tourism: Ecology, impacts and management by Dowling, Newsome  and Moore - also published by Channel View Press (I think I have the order of the authors correct - but I may be wrong here).  

You will find plenty of material this way - and if published in reputable journals you will probably find the authors and their work in Research Gate. Happy hunting

Can you be more precise? What is the research problem you are interested in? Ecotourism? Impact of mass tourism on environment? Legal, social, spatial aspects of environment protection in tourism destinations?

Hello Professor, I would like to consider these two are separate entities, though both are intertwined. Credible works on environmental analysis, protocols of conservation, Post project impact assessment etc. With respect to tourism more on Responsible tourism, participatory dimensions so on

You can find some papers by Puiu Nistoreanu as interesting, especially about sustainable (or responsible as you prefer) tourism. The papers are available at ResearchGate on his profile.

I'd like to add one suggestion after Chris comment. Please, consider CIRET as a source of bibliography.

I thank the members of the fraternity for their support

Dear Rajasekharan, please take a look at my papers downloadable from ResearchGate. I hope you find some of them useful for your research. I wish you success and all the best!

Do a simple Google search in Google Scholar and you would get a list of thousands of articles on Tourism and Environment.

Dear,

Have a look on Jaume Rossello profile.....  u can find many relevant articles.... I have also some.... 

Yes there are! When I had a glance at Google Scholar, I could find several articles on this specific area. I guess, United Nations has a separate wing for dealing with subjects such as these. I found interesting information from the link given below:

I am very happy to acknowledge the engagement of peer members on the topic. thanks every one.

It depends on what type of text you are looking for: journals, books, etc. and also what level (undergraduate, postgraduate, etc.. The answer given by Chris Ryan is more than sufficient in that respect. I would recommend the work of Andrew Holden, especially his latest book on tourism and environment published by Routledge in 2008.

Hi.

I would guess that you're interested in "negative environmental impacts of tourism?" If so professor Ryan gave you enough for a good start. In adition you may also want to check the UNEP & UNWTO (2012) publication which includes some good examples and also suggests which authors are strong in this area. You may also want to check the work of Dolnicar and myself. Also Buckley, Font, Hall,  etc. Google scholar is a good starting point.

Good luck!

If you wish to enter into discussions with tourism academics and researchers then you may wish to join Trinet which is a discussion group covering this are of academic work. The network is based at the University of Hawaii and has several thousand researchers - but people suggest questions are specific in nature to aid the retrieval of more informed answers.  If you look up the web page of the International Academy for the Study of Tourism - a body restricted in membership to  'top academics' in the field - you will find a newsletter page that is open to all. Here quite often members of the Academy will list their latest research papers - and that is one way also of identifying the pertinent journals. Of course you can always do a search using databases such as Scopus.
