Features: This book is written by academics and policymakers from around the world, offering an objective and comprehensive review of international ecotourism policies. It is divided into five main parts: Understanding Ecotourism Policies, Regional Case Studies, National Case Studies, Macro Tourism Case Studies, and Conclusions. Globally, the growth trend of the tourism industry continues, but it often comes at the expense of the social and ecological integrity of destination regions. Therefore, it has become imperative for tourism policymakers to adopt various methods to protect the environment, local communities, tourists, and tourism operators from these negative impacts. This book provides valuable insights for researchers, industry professionals, and decision-makers in fields such as tourism, environment, geography, and planning. It is also suitable for senior undergraduate students and graduate and doctoral researchers for study and research purposes.
