Case studies in ecotourism

This book is simply a collection of case studies from around the world that either exemplify ecotourism in action, illustrate some aspect of ecotourism or test the concept of ecotourism. Some of these places and businesses I have visited myself; some are described in relatively reliable publications; and others were recommended by colleagues, especially members of the
Advisory Board of the International Centre for Ecotourism Research. There are many more case studies that I investigated but did not include. These were not necessarily better or worse. In most cases I simply had no
reliable information. Others were so similar to these examples that little would be gained from including them also.
