Rebecca Hawkins, Environmental auditor who runs her own business specialising in environmental aspects of tourism projects.
Description
Looking ahead to the 21st century, Sustainable Tourism explains the current thinking process that underlies the emerging international
principles of more sustainable development in travel and tourism.
Using international illustrations it draws on experience and good
practice as they are being increasingly applied around the world in the late 1990s. In sharp contrast to the problem analysis approach
adopted by so many authors to this subject, this book is focused on the pro-active role the private sector industry can play in partnership
with the public sector to achieve solutions through its day-to-day operations and marketing, expecially in product enhancement and quality
controls.
Case material, contributed by senior professionals in the industry, include:
*Kruger National Park, South Africa *Quicksilver
Connections, Barrier Reef, Australia *Edinburgh's Old Town, UK *Ironbridge Gorge Museum, UK *Rutland Water, UK.
Industry illustrations
are drawn from British Airways, Grecotel, Inter-Continental Hotels and Resorts, the International Federation of Tour Operators, P&O and
TUI.
