Sustainable tourism, as shared through this new edition, is a legacy for the future and a potential driving force toward economic development, conservation of the natural environment, and global peace. - Kristen Betts, Clinical Professor, EdD Program in Educational Leadership & Management, Drexel University, USA.

This book will be good for not only students and tourism professionals, but also for community planners. - Jason R.
