| Abstract
|
:
|
The issue of maintaining a balanced relationship between tourism and the environment has received considerable attention since the 1970s. However, only in the 1980s and 1990s did it become a topic of systematic academic inquiry and research, distinguished from the broader area of the environmental impacts of recreation and leisure activities. <br/> This volume dwells on the environmental and economic impacts of tourism and is divided as follows: <br/> Part 1: Introduction and Overview <br/> Part 2: Tourism and the Environment: General Considerations <br/> Part 3: Regional Issues <br/> Part 4: Economic Issues <br/> Part 5: Policy Issues <br/> The work is complemented by a subject index. <br/>
