With continuously growing tourist numbers, pressure on resources increases, and there is a need to preserve and protect natural, cultural and historic resources. Various more sensitive forms of tourism have emerged and in recognition of the need for this development the United Nations proclaimed 2002 as the International Year of Ecotourism. This book introduces the reader to a number of case studies from different parts of the world and illustrates opportunities and constraints associated with the implementation of the ecotourism concept. 410 0$aCurrent themes in tourism. 606 $aEcotourism$vCase studies 606 $aEcotourism 610 $aalternative tourism. 610 $acommunity. 610 $aecotourism. 610 $agovernment. 610 $asustainbility. 610 $atourism development. 610 $atourism policy. 615 0$aEcotourism 615 0$aEcotourism. 676 $a338.4/791 701 $aKirstges$b Torsten$01669727 701 $aLuck$b Michael$f1966-$0151532 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810526003321 996 $aGlobal ecotourism policies and case studies$94068165 997 $aUNINA
