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.

Gateway communities that neighbour parks and protected areas are
impacted by tourism, while facing unique circumstances related to
protected area management. Economic dependency remains a serious
challenge for these communities, especially in a climate of
neoliberalism, top-down policy environments, and park closures
related to environmental degradation or government budgets. The
collection of works in this edited book provide bottom-up,
informed, and nuanced approaches to tourism management using local
experiences from gateway communities and protected areas management
emerging from a decade of guidelines, rulemaking, and exclusive
decision-making. Global perspectives are presented and
contextualized at the local level of gateway communities in an
attempt to balance nature, community, and commerce, while
supporting the triple bottom line of sustainable tourism. While
anticipating a post-COVID 19 global shift, readers are encouraged
to think through transformation and resiliency in regard to how the
flux of supply vs demand alters gateway community perspectives on
tourism. Specific features of this book include: * Focus on
transformations, which provides insight into the complex and
dynamic nature of gateway communities. * Multidisciplinary,
multi-cultural insights into protected area management. * Applied
and conceptual chapters from global perspectives.
