Ecotourism continues to be embraced as the antithesis of mass
tourism because of its promise of achieving sustainability through
conservation mindedness, community development, education and
learning, and the promotion of nature based activities that were
sensitive to both ecological and social systems. The extent to
which this promise has been realised is open to debate. Focusing on
an array of economic, social and ecological inconsistencies that
continue to plague ecotourism in theory and practice, the volume
examines ecotourism in reference to other related forms of tourism,
impacts, conservation, sustainability, education and
interpretation, policy and governance, and the ethical imperative
of ecotourism as these apply to the world's greenest form of
tourism. Ecotourism is a growing field attracting increasing
attention from students and academics. Fennell provides an
authoritative and comprehensive review of the most important issues
that continue to both plague ecotourism and make it one of the most
dynamic sectors in the tourism industry. It covers a comprehensive
range of themes and geographical regions. Building on the success
of prior editions, Ecotourism has been revised throughout to
incorporate recent research and benefits from the introduction of
real-life case studies and summaries of recent literature. An
essential reference for those interested in Ecotourism, the book is
accessible to students but retains the depth required for use by
researchers and practitioners in the field. New chapters on the
theory and application of animal ethics; community development in
sustainable tourism; and education and learning in the field have
added further value to an already very comprehensive volume. This
book will be of interest to students across a range of disciplines
including geography, economics, business, ethics, biology, and
environmental studies.
