'This book brings together a diverse and impressive collection of experts on the subject of ecotourism and environmental sustainabilityThe contributors leave no stone unturned, metaphorically speaking, in engaging with a debate that can only assume greater importance in the future. This is not a book that should be on your bookshelf: keep it on your desk.' Brian Garrod, Aberystwyth University, UK 'This edited volume is a timely and valuable addition to discourses on an issue that is only likely to gain further currency...There are two key virtues of this collection of 14 papers; first, it seamlessly contextualizes new research within existing literature on the subject. Second, and more importantly, the array of case studies contained here is richly diverse, examining a variety of ecotourism activities, ecosystem types, ecosystem components and environmental responses.' Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography 'In conclusion, through the incorporation of multiple case studies addressing various aspects of ecotourism, this publication provides a useful insight of ecotourism and what ecotourism can encompass.'
