Tourism and Animal Welfare

This book addresses the issue of animal welfare within the tourism experience. The first part explores the meaning of animal welfare and its relation to ethics, animal rights, and human obligations to animals. It also explores the nature and diversity of the position and role of animals within tourism.

Part Two builds upon concepts and ideas and reflects the views of a variety of animal welfare organizations and individual leaders, tourism industry organizations, tourism operators, and academic experts, about the nature of the tourism industry, the welfare needs of animals, and whether or how the two can co-exist. The case studies and opinion pieces that constitute this section encompass differing perspectives on animal welfare and tourism.
