Environmentally-sustainable tourism or ecotourism has become a major area of interest for governments, the private sector and international lending institutions. It is regarded as a way of allowing economic development whilst protecting against environmental degradation, especially in those countries with fragile ecosystems. However, despite the beneficial intentions of ecotourism, it tends to be regarded uncritically by environmental organizations, governments and the private sector alike. Rosaleen Duffy presents this analysis of ecotourism, linking it with environmental ideologies and the politics of North-South relations. By the extensive use of case study and interview material, she formulates ideas and proposals that should be important for the development of ecotourism around the globe.

Anyone who's ever dreamed of running away to start a new life on a sun-drenched island will find the Blanchards' seductive, funny tale of pandemonium and bliss unforgettable.

If you like to travel you might like to try our trips by car or as we did in a motorhome. My husband encouraged me to share some of our past trips and pictures with you. We have so many pictures and they are just snapshots with no idea that we would be sharing them in a book, so they are not professional photos I know I picked some famous shots and also some human interest photos. I believe you will find this is an unusual travel book. Ive given all of the route numbers if you care to try any or part of a trip. I did not always know exactly where some of the scenes were but they are in the book in order of our travels. You might recognize your location or town in some of the photos.
