Natural Area Tourism second edition just released
The newly released second edition of the book Natural Area Tourism written by David Newsome, Susan A Moore, and Ross K. Dowling, details the possibilities of setting up successful tourism developments in natural areas and now contains an overview of recent developments, such as mountain biking, adventure activities in protected areas and geotourism.
You’ll find new content and examples from the Asian region on managing the tourism industry and management effectiveness. The book also considers important new developments in monitoring, such as remote sensing and the use of GIS, as well as the use of electronic educational resources in delivering interpretation.
Attention is given to the implications of climate change, inadequate protected area security and the ever-increasing influence of the landscape matrix.
The second edition also includes a comprehensive review of the new literature that has emerged since the publication of the first edition more than a decade ago. Accordingly, this book will remain an invaluable resource of natural area tourism for many years to come.
The book is a critical resource for all those working in the interrelated disciplines of protected area management, sustainable tourism, geography and conservation biology.
It is beautifully written in a clear and comprehensive style allowing readers to engage with all the challenges and intricacies of natural area tourism. This book is one of the few that goes beyond paying lip-service to the environmental impacts of tourism.
You can order either a paperback or hard cover now from Boomerang Books
