Wildlife Tourism (Tourism and Hospitality Management Series)

Luxury safaris, wilderness backpacking, zoos, aquaria and safari parks all form part of the increasingly successful wildlife tourism industry. This book looks at the ways in which tourists interact with wildlife, examining the results of this contact and the management problems which can result. The work presents examples of good and bad practices in wildlife management and a balanced discussion of the interests and issues at stake. Questions are included at the end of each chapter.
