Features: Ecotourism Case Studies is a new achievement in ecotourism case studies edited by international ecotourism expert Ralph Bauckley and translated by renowned domestic ecotourism research expert Yang Guihua and others. The book consists of nine chapters, collecting ecotourism sustainable development cases from many countries and introducing them by geographical regions: Africa, Asia-Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, South America and Central America, North America and Europe, and the Arctic and Antarctic regions. With convincing practical case analyses, the book examines ecotourism from the perspectives of environmental, economic, and social sustainability. These cases can serve as operational models for ecotourism practice and also be used to theoretically discuss the criteria for ecotourism composition. This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students in tourism management and related fields, as a reference for tourism research personnel, tourism development and planning designers, tourism management personnel, and as a guide for general ecotourism enthusiasts.
