Tourism has an essential role in terms of contributing to the
financial sustainability of protected areas. In addition, through
effective and efficient benefit-sharing, tourism can positively
impact numerous stakeholders within and beyond the protected area.
Living on the Edge: Benefit-Sharing from Protected Area Tourism
highlights the complexity of benefit-sharing, the importance of
identifying all relevant stakeholders, the challenges of ensuring
equity and sustainability, and the critical importance of good
governance. The evolution of benefit-sharing mechanisms over time
also emphasizes a continuing need to evolve and adapt to each
unique situation as much evidence indicates that little has changed
for those living on the edge. Although this book focuses on
benefit-sharing from protected area tourism, it is essential to
acknowledge that along with these benefits are costs associated
with tourism, including possible increased local prices, loss of
access to land, human-wildlife conflict, and other related costs.
The contributing authors agree that benefit-sharing must include
good governance, accountability, equity, transparency, a broad
reach of stakeholder engagement, and a robust combination of
tangible and intangible benefits - with recognition that
benefit-sharing systems need to be adaptive and evolve, as needed,
according to the relevant situation. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of
Sustainable Tourism.
