This book intends to support research and management practices in
the real world and build a capacity to strengthen connections
between Brazilian society and its natural heritage. The chapters
highlight public policy, planning and management issues to link
theory and practical application of implementing tourism in
protected areas. The book focuses on the analysis of social,
environmental and managerial aspects that facilitate new approaches
to tourism planning in protected areas. Upcoming challenges, such
as public-private partnerships for tourism development, fewer
resources from governments, and increasing visitor numbers are key
topics in dealing with market demand to guarantee principles of
sustainable tourism in Brazilian protected areas. Nature-based
tourism remains a new area of knowledge in Brazil, with some papers
published in regional and national journals. However, there is an
increasing flux of tourists and a high demand to improve visitor
experiences in these protected areas. Brazilian landscapes possess
a myriad of nature-based tourism opportunities, indigenous
cultures, and incredible biodiversity. Sustainability of these rely
on research and support. This book is an insightful reference to
how tourism challenges and opportunities are managed in Brazilian
protected regions. The content and language are directed at
undergraduate and graduate students, as well as tourism managers in
these areas. Other beneficiaries of this publication include NGOs
and students from tourism, environmental sciences, ecology,
biology, sociology, economics, and interdisciplinary areas about
protected areas within a developing country. This is a welcome
reference for researchers worldwide, especially for studies on
Brazilian nature-based tourism published in English are scarce. A
number of new undergraduate, graduate and specialization courses
focusing on nature tourism, ecotourism, sustainable development,
and protected-area management have been created in the last decade
in Brazil. Although international courses in developed countries
focus on contributing to sustainable tourism and research in
protected areas, there are few examples with a distinct focus on
viable economic application and planning in Brazil. This book fills
in a part of this gap. From the viewpoint of Brazilian researchers,
it addresses the reality of the unique theoretical and practical
issues facing these economies. It also discusses strategies in
applications that focus on improving the benefits from tourism in
these protected areas.
