Tourism throughout the world raises environmental issues that are
often concerned with conflicting rights and responsibilities: the
inherent right of mankind to travel, the no-less inherent right of
indigenous people to guard their environmental heritage, and the
responsibility of governments - local, national or (in the unique
case of Antarctica) international - to protect environments over
which they exercise stewardship. Additionally, the presence of
international commercial enterprises, especially marine and other
mass transport modes, represent unique governance challenges.This
book deals mainly with environmental issues and the management
implications arising from polar tourism, one of the fastest-growing
sectors of world tourism. However, many of the issues discussed
here arise no less urgently in temperate and tropical wilderness
areas, and indeed in any region where sensitive environments are
subjected to mass tourism. The principles and guidelines discussed
here are of interest and practical use in tourism studies
generally.
