Produktbeschreibung

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.

Rezensionen

"This book is important for the field of Ethical and Responsible Tourism, but it is also important for those of us who are tourists and like to travel to learn with the world - as sustainable global travellers. Its cross disciplinary richness and diverse case studies contribute to the future-proofing of tourism."

Anne B. Reinertsen, Professor in Pedagogy, Østfold University College, Norway

"This second edition is a significant update on its predecessor, both as a core textbook and as supplementary reading for educators, policy makers and practitioners. It provides a comprehensive theoretical overview supplemented by global case studies which illustrate the practical potential for sustainable tourism and local destination management."

Richard Clarke, Visiting Scholar, Westminster Business School, University of Westminster, UK and consultant on community engagement in landscape management to the UK National Lottery Heritage Fund.

"With a more-than-important focus on ethical and responsible tourism linked to environmental impacts, this book guides the reader through many case studies and recent developments in sustainable tourism since the start of the pandemic. By dazzling the minds with tourism in times of the worst modern crisis, the book should be found on coffee tables of scholars, students, and practitioners for decades to come."

Tina Segota, Senior Lecturer, Greenwich Business School, University of Greenwich, UK & Associate Professor, Faculty of Tourism, University of Maribor, Slovenia

Praise from the previous edition





"The organisation of the book is very well thought out and presented. The authors present a comprehensive sustainable tourism perspective framed by ethical and responsible decision making and a local perspective. The focus on local and community tourism is a highlight of this volume and the models included are numerous."
