Features: This book, written by academics and policymakers from around the world, provides 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 Concluding Remarks. Globally, the growth trend of the tourism industry continues, but it often comes at the expense of the integrity of regional societies and ecosystems. Therefore, it has become imperative for tourism policymakers to adopt various methods to protect the environment, local residents, tourists, and tourism operators from these negative impacts. This book serves as a valuable reference for researchers, industry professionals, and decision-makers in fields such as tourism, environment, geography, and planning. It is also suitable for advanced undergraduate students and graduate and doctoral researchers for study and research purposes.
