Ecotourism is a new Australian textbook that discusses the significance of ecotourism in the domestic and international tourism sector. Ecotourism markets, venues and impacts form the basis of the first part of the book. The management of ecotourism is covered comprehensively and is completed by extensive industry examples. A highlight of the book is a regional survey of ecotourism that offers insights into ecotourism in Australia, the South Pacific, Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa.

Ecotourism has become a high yield tourist category within the national tourism industry and issues such as regional planning and development, operator obligations and best practice, strategic management, evaluation and the role of indigenous communities have become crucial professional and industry considerations. The text will be closely aligned to Australian best practice initiatives proposed under the Australian Nature and Ecotourism Accreditation Program (NEAP).
