This book will surely become the standard text on sustainable tourism and remain so for a long time. It is well written and closely argued, very well referenced, and includes clear and highly relevant examples. The authors do much more than touch all the bases, they explore them in depth, and not only discuss what could be done, but how and why such actions need to be taken.
