This book was released on 2022-07-18 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,0, , language: English, abstract: This essay is about the fundamentals and strategies of nature based tourism and ecotourism. Ecotourism, which is a type of alternative tourism, is separated into two categories: "hard" and "soft" ecotourism. Hard ecotourism is characterized by a scientific interest in the environment, biodiversity as well as wildlife. Hard ecotourism is the most opulent type of ecotourism, frequently involving a lack of hotel accommodations or other amenities. Sleeping at an environmentally friendly campground is one illustration of hard ecotourism. General or "soft" ecotourism, which is similarly based on a fascination with nature, adopts a less intense approach. Hiking is prevalent, although it is regarded a recreational activity rather than a conduit for environmental research, as it would be in hard ecotourism. Ecotourism is not designed to have negative environmental implications, but given the lack of clarity about what constitutes sustainable practices, this could happen inadvertently. As a result, it is critical to explain those negative consequences, as well as the necessity of management strategies as a tool for reducing or even eliminating those consequences. Nature-based tourism is a broad word for tourist practices that require people interacting with the earth in ways that are distinct from humankind's usual activities. Regardless of the fact that pristine countryside is desirable, tourists often want modern conveniences and tailored items. There seems to be a conflict between desired and ideal levels of growth and development because it is incompatible with the fundamental vision of eco - as well as nature-based tourism.

Download or read book Eco Tourism And Livelihoods Capacity Building For Local Authorities written by A.K. Bhattacharya and published by Concept Publishing Company. This book was released on 2005 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism is the most rapidly growing and biggest civilian industry in the world and ecotourism forms the largest proportion of the present tourism. Since ecotourism involves maximum number of stakeholders, from local communities to the corporate world, proper capacity building of the major stakeholders for effective planning and management of ecotourism has become a prerequisite for the sustainable ecotourism development. This book attempts to fill in this gap. The book addresses the key issues concerning ecotourism management, with special focus on community participation. It deals with a range of topics including the basic concept, forms, potential assessment, planning and case studies of ecotourism. At the same time, it discusses the new concepts and techniques of ecotourism, viz. carrying capacity, community participation and auditing. The book will be useful for practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders in planning and implementation of ecotourism.

Download or read book Environment and Tourism written by Andrew Holden and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people, holidays are an increasingly central feature of contemporary western society. The tourism industry has expanded rapidly since 1950, but this book poses the significant question of consequent environmental impacts: are environments being benefited or damaged, by the tourist who visit them? A well-balanced introductory text, this topical book on the relationships between tourism, society and the environment, examines 'tourism' and 'environment' in detail, and gives a historical overview of the growth of the tourism industry. It discusses how the tourism industry markets physical and cultural environments to be consumed by the tourist, and the consequences of the tourism they then attract. It explores: * how the economics of tourism can be adopted in a positive way to aid conservation * whether the concept of sustainability can be applied to tourism * provides a critique of the 'new' forms of tourism, that have developed in recent years. An extensive range of international case studies from both the developed and developing world are used to illustrate the theoretical ideas presented, and to aid the student, it includes end of chapter summaries, further reading guides and boxed vignettes focusing on contemporary environmental issues and debates.

The book is divided into three parts, the first of which addresses the scientific facets of innovation, analyzing the challenges and opportunities that technology provides for organic and disruptive developments in tourism, which will shape its future. In turn, the second part examines socio-cultural paradigms – with a view to dismantling traditional barriers to innovation. It also explores the role of heritage and the ethics of inclusiveness as drivers for sustainable tourism. The third part investigates new ways and means in governance and policy making for tourism. It introduces advances such as strategic positioning, symbiotic partnerships, and innovative management, and closes by presenting governance frameworks for an inclusive and sustainable future of tourism.
