Tourism and development in mountain regions

"This book discusses the importance of mountain regions and the precariousness of mountain tourism in the context of ecosystem and cultural conservation. Case studies from around the world of mountain tourism co-existing with environmental sustainability and community well-being are included. An integrated approach to mountain-based tourism, which balances the needs of local communities, tourists and environmental conservation, is presented. The book fills a unique gap in the literature and will be invaluable for academics and professionals in tourism, geography, planning and environmental management."--Jacket.
