| Summary: | ' In areas with national parks and other protected landscapes, tourism is often an important economic factor and is considered the main pillar for the future development of these, often remote, regions. For many visitors, protected areas are a guaranty for peace and relaxation and a natural backdrop for an attractive holiday option. Due to their rural nature, protected areas are often suitable for recreational activities. However, when it comes to holiday destinations which boast protected areas, both tourism and nature conservation issues need to be addressed and carefully balanced out. The book in hand introduces significant findings and practical case studies regarding the topic "National Parks and Tourism" through contributions by tourism experts from Australia, China, Germany, Mexico, and New Zealand. The focus of this work is on the challenges of tourism operations as well as, amongst others, questions regarding tourism marketing activities or country-specific characteristics." -- Cover. |
