The Handbook on Tourism and Conservation demonstrates the intrinsic
nexus between tourism, the environment and sustainable natural
resources use. It applies Ostrom’s social-ecological systems
(SESs) theory as the analytical framework for reaching a consensus
on divergent viewpoints within the context of global environmental
change and emerging governance issues. Reflecting the
interdependency between tourism and biodiversity conservation, the
book focuses on four thematic areas. These include tourism and
conservation in protected areas; tourism and climate change;
sustainable agritourism; and destination communities and natural
resources conservation. Thus equity and environmental justice
issues are highlighted in relation to how destination communities
have benefitted from tourism activities. The Handbook will be a
useful guide for policymakers and relevant institutions in the
implementation of tourism policies that balance issues in tourism
and environmental conservation equally and which in turn could
enhance wider participation in tourism development by all
stakeholders in the sector. The Handbook will be a valuable
resource for academics, researchers and students of tourism
studies, geography, environmental policy, management and related
fields. It will also be beneficial for sustainable tourism
policymakers and planners.
