Nature-Based Tourism in Peripheral Areas cover

This book provides one of the first detailed examinations of the problems of nature-based tourism development in peripheral areas. A diverse range of environments is used to illustrate the challenges and difficulties of managing nature-based tourism resources. A central theme throughout the book is the degree of opportunity that nature-based tourism provides as the basis for peripheral region development.

The book makes a major contribution to developing understanding of the potential scope for tourism development in social and economic growth. This is a very good book that deserves to be widely used in tertiary level tourism courses.
