This book looks at the economic, social and environmental consequences of nature-based tourism, and its effects on land managers. It discusses the importance of links and partnerships, as well as the conflicts between commercial tourism interests and land management agencies.Now in paperback, this book will be an essential resource for tourism students, as well as researchers and industry practitioners.
