The Routledge Handbook of Tourism and the Environment 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. It brings
together leading specialists from range of disciplinary backgrounds
and geographical regions, to provide state-of-the-art theoretical
reflection and empirical research on this complex relationship and
future direction. The book is divided in to five interrelated
sections. Section one evaluates the philosophical basis, rationale
and complexity of what is meant by the term 'environment'
considering the major influences in the construction of how we
understand our surroundings and the types of values we place upon
them. Section two evaluates the types of eco-systems that are used
as natural resources for tourism and the negative and positive
impacts upon them. Section three evaluates relevant environmental
policy and management mechanisms for the impacts of tourism on the
natural environment. Section four focuses on the changing
tourism-environment relationship, and the types of tourism that
have become established in the tourism industry, market and policy.
Section five, analyzes contemporary and future issues of the
tourism-environment relationship, based upon themes of
environmental and social welfare. This timely book will provide an
invaluable resource for all those with an interest in tourism's
relationship with the natural environment, encouraging dialogue
across disciplinary boundaries and areas of study. The book is
international in its focus, emphasizing that issues of tourism and
the natural environment are not only localized but transcend
national boundaries that sometimes require both international and
global responses. This is essential reading for student,
researchers and academics of Tourism as well as those of Geography,
Environmental Studies and Development Studies.
