Tourism and sustainability: Critical perspectives on the developing world

Tourism and Sustainability explores and challenges the most significant geopolitical ideas of the last two decades - sustainability, globalisation and development - and demonstrates their significance for understanding the emergence, growth and potential new forms of tourism in the Third World. This second edition of the book has been extensively updated to firmly re-situate it in the development literature. It includes new material on:

• Third World development and tourism
• The emergence of pro-poor tourism
• A consideration of the UN International Year for Ecotourism
• The fair trade in tourism movement
• Ecolabelling and certification
• Corporate social responsibility
• Participation.
