Recenzje

'The third edition of Ecotourism provides provocative and thoughtful insights into a sector increasingly conflicted by the parallel dictates of neoliberal market forces and imperatives to protect vulnerable ecosystems through　empowered local communities. With their eyes boldly focused on the next century and the existential challenge of climate change, the authors deliver an invaluable resource to ecotourism-focused academics and practitioners and, indeed, the thinking traveller'. David Weaver, former Professor, Griffith University, Australia
