Ecotourism and conservation in the Americas

"Using detailed case studies, regional overviews and thematic analyses, Ecotourism and Conservation in the Americas evaluates the pros and cons of ecotourism for communities and ecosystems. Focusing particularly on the Americas, perspectives are drawn from private tour operators, non-governmental conservation and development organizations, local and indigenous communities and tourism researchers. Chapters highlight local benefits and conservation value through discussions on social impacts, the assessment of conservation potential, environmental education and the setting and maintaining of standards. Evaluating ecotourism's ability to support sustainable development and conservation, this book will be particularly useful for professionals in conservation and ecotourism organizations as well as tourism researchers and students in tourism classes."--Jacket.
