“Ethical and Responsible Tourism” explains the methods and practices used to manage the environmental impact of tourism on local communities and destinations. The three core themes of the book – destination management, environmental and social aspects of ethical sustainable development and business impacts – are discussed across both topic and case study chapters, alongside explanatory editorial analysis with all chapters clearly signposted and interlinked. The case studies address specific and practical examples from a global range of examples including sites in Australia, Central America, Europe Union countries, Japan, North America and South America.
The book was shortlisted for a 2019 Taylor & Francis Outstanding Book & Digital Product Award in the Outstanding New Textbook category!
Used as a core textbook, the linking of theory, in the topic chapters, and practice gained through case studies, alongside further reading and editorial commentary, “Ethical and Responsible Tourism” provides a detailed and comprehensive learning experience.
