Abstract:    This chapter offers a sufficiently exhaustive overview of some key management tools appropriately selected by the authors. Given the close in­terconnection between tourism firms and destinations, its premise is that sus­tainable tourism paths can take place if both attempt to properly manage their common problems in the continuous adaptation to environmental evo­lutions. To do so, some tools consolidated in management literature, but still overlooked in tourism research and practice, can be valid support for tourism firms and destinations to analyze their external and internal environments. It is a basic condition to develop adequate knowledge of new opportunities and challenges deriving from the interplay between socioeconomic and environ­mental systems, acting accordingly. Therefore, these tools are needed to im­prove the impact of sustainable tourism through the propagation of sustain­able business models. The chapter represents one of the very few attempts to point out the effectiveness of their joint consideration.
