Overview

This book provides both an overview and detailed case studies of ecotourism in a wide range of countries. It begins with three introductory chapters which provide an economic and geographic context for ecotourism in the developing world.

The final chapter discusses common themes and patterns in the studies and relates these to strategies for the future. This book is ideal reading for lecturers, advanced students and researchers in tourism. It will also be valuable to other tourism industry staff, geographers, development economists and government and regional policy makers.
