Description

Ecotourism is defined as “responsible travel to natural areas which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people.” Many see it as a panacea for developing nations – a source of clean development that can bring wealth to rural communities while simultaneously helping to preserve pristine environments. But has the reality lived up to the promise? And is that even possible? In Ecotourism and Sustainable Development, Martha Honey presents an overview of the ecotourism industry and a first-hand account of ecotourism projects around the world.
