| Abstract
|
:
|
This book with 9 parts contains 16 chapters on ecoutourism and conservation in the Americas. The book aims to fulfill its mission, and to offer professionals in conservation and ecotourism organizations, non-governmental organizations and government offices, particularly in the USA and Latin America, a worthy assessment of ecotourism's tangible impacts in the Americas. It also provides useful case studies, testimonies of 'ecotourism at work' in the field, and regional overviews for students and their professors in university classrooms.
