About Book

This edition provides comprehensive analysis of theoretical interpretation and practical application of sustainable tourism. Author presents significant insights into barriers, challenges and current industry and government responses to it in various parts of the globe. ‘Sustainable Tourism’ will be a welcome addition to the libraries of tourism industry professionals, individuals involved in the management of natural areas; tourism policy makers; tourism academics; and students with an interest in the future sustainability of tourism and the industry that supports it. The major areas of this edition have been redesigned into seven chapters that deal with the concept and trend of sustainability in global and regional tourism industry, challenges and opportunities of community based sustainable tourism, and ecosystem approach in tourism management. I hope readers will appreciate the edition for its clarity and simplicity in the presentation of the facts.
