Inhaltsangabe

Eco-tourism is now a major force in the world travel market as more and more people wish to travel in ways which do not harm the environment and reduce the local population to poverty by destroying traditional livelihoods. This guide combines a country-by-country survey of the best destinations for eco-tourists with guidance on travelling the world without damaging it. The guide begins with a brief history of modern holiday-making and an assessment of the environmental problems that have accompanied mass tourism. It examines how tourism leads to the degradation and destruction of natural environments and the wildlife and communities they support. The editors then give readers the good news, identifying tourist regions which have been cleaning up the mess brought about by mass tourism and the foundations which are being laid across the world for more eco-tourism.
