Ethical and Responsible Tourism explains the methods and practices
used to manage the environmental impact of tourism on local communities
and destinations. This new edition takes into account recent global
events such as the Covid-19 health crisis, the impacts of the war in
Ukraine on tourism in neighbouring regions and the consequences of the
energy and cost of living crisis.
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 Australasia, Central America, Europe, Asia, North America and South
America. In this new edition, further case studies are included from the
USA and Japan, as well as new examples from Brazil, Croatia and Malta.
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. Specific case studies
can be used as standalone examples as part of a case teaching approach,
and the editorial and discussion elements are designed to be suitable
for those simply seeking a concise overview, such as tourism
professionals or potential investors in sustainable tourism projects.
This revised edition continues to be essential reading for students,
researchers and practitioners of tourism, environmental and
sustainability studies.
