Ecotourism has emerged over the last twenty years not just as a
market niche, but also as a strategy for combining development with
conservation in the developing world. Ecotourism, NGOs and
Development considers the basis for advocacy and argues that it is
premised upon a very limited and limiting view of the potential for
development. Jim Butcher examines the advocacy of tourism as
sustainable development in a range of NGOs and within the general
literature. The research reveals that in spite of the plethora of
critical commentaries on the operation of ecotourism projects,
there is generally an uncritical take on the ideological basis of
the projects. This book offers a timely critique of key assumptions
underlying ecotourism's status as sustainable development, arguing
that ecotourism as development strategy ties the fate of some of
the poorest people on the planet to localized environmental
imperatives.
