Abstract
This chapter concludes the book by considering the main themes and key conclusions that can be drawn from the various chapters that have been included. The chapter also acknowledges some of the major gaps in the book by providing some initial thoughts about key stakeholders and dimensions of sustainability that have not been discussed in other chapters. These include EfS in technical and vocational education sectors, government officials and NGOs. The need for innovation in curricula, pedagogies and technology enhanced learning are explored as key dimensions of EfS. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the future for both sustainability in tourism and EfS.
