Summary
A new model of tourism has recently emerged out of a widening concern for the morality of tourist experience. Known variously as 'ecotourism', 'new tourism', etc., huge claims are made for it in terms of what it might offer in promoting national tourism development. Yet what does it mean to be an international tourist encountering the cultural, political and economic particularities of the South African experience? The authors explore the realities of this new morality of tourism in four tourist areas of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa: the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park; the Phinda Resource Reserve; Kosi Bay; and the Durban beachfront. For the first time they try to locate the international tourist within the moral maze of tourism in the new South Africa.

Summary
Tourism has attracted increasing interest from not only scholars with a background in the subject, but also those studying in a number of other fields, given the growing relevance of areas such as psychology, sociology, planning and marketing. As such, this book brings together twelve chapters addressing various aspects of tourism development, from sustainability and ecotourism to cases of developing alternative tourism products. The contributions are enriched through selected practical case studies from a wide range of countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Slovenia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Mexico, South Africa, France, Turkey, and Argentina. The book, systematic in structure and thorough in content, will be useful for people from academic and practical backgrounds seeking to update their current knowledge of tourism development.

Summary
This book reflects contemporary developments in the field. Building on the strengths of the first edition, the text discusses the significance of ecotourism in the domestic and international tourism sectors. The origins, markets, venues and impact of ecotourism form the basis of the first part of the book. Business aspects of ecotourism, external environments, organisations and policies are examined in the second part of the book, along with special environments, such as islands, polar regions and indigenous territories, and distinctive activities, such as whale-watching and penguin-watching. The management of ecotourism is covered comprehensively and is illustrated by extensive industry and destination examples derived mainly from the peer-reviewed literature. A highlight of the book is a regional survey of ecotourism that offers comparative insights into ecotourism in Australia, the South Pacific, Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa.

It compares indigenous ecotourism in developed and developing countries and provides global case studies of indigenous ecotourism projects in the Pacific Islands, Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia. The book analyses key factors and constraints for sustainable development of Indigenous ecotourism and explores the growing links between biodiversity conservation, ecotourism and indigenous rights.
