Reviews'Written by world experts in their fields, it fills a gap in the market for sustainable tourism research that is helpful and practical. It is gratifying to read all these chapters from consultants and practice-oriented academics that I have admired for years, which allow us an insight into the experience they have gained over decades of working for some of the most influential international organisations, overseas development agencies, governments and protected areas.', 'This book is a timely and important resource which includes relevant, practical guidance to support the sustainable development and growth of the tourism industry. Numerous case studies provide essential tools and techniques for promoting best practices, with insightful tips and advice from experienced practitioners.'
