Ecotourism, second edition has been thoroughly revised to
reflect contemporary developments in ecotourism. Building on the
strengths of the first edition, the text discusses the significance
of ecotourism in the domestic and international tourism sector.
Ecotourism origins, markets, venues and impacts form the basis of
the first part of the book. Business aspects of ecotourism,
external environments, organisations and policies are examined in
the second part of the book, along with special environments and
activities such as whale watching, islands, polar regions and
indigenous territories. The management of ecotourism is covered
comprehensively and is illustrated by extensive industry and
destination examples derived mainly from the peer-reviewed
literature. A highlight of the book is a regional survey of
ecotourism that offers comparative insights into ecotourism in
Australia, the South Pacific, Asia, Europe, the Americas and
Africa.
