Tourism based on natural environments is a huge international industry, requiring access to land with scenery, native plants, and wildlife. In turn, land managers need money to maintain the land and all its resources. Looking at the economic, social and environmental consequences of nature-based tourism, this book discusses the importance of links and partnerships, as well as the conflicts between commercial tourism interests and land management agencies.
This handbook explores and critically evaluates the debates and controversies inherent to tourism's relationship with nature, especially pertinent at a time of major re-evaluation of our relationship with the environment as a consequence of the environmental problems we now face.
