The series is intended to provide scientifically sound strategic knowledge about ecotourism to academics, graduate and advanced undergraduate students, practitioners, area managers, and government and non-government organizations in order to promote financially viable ecotourism that fulfills environmental, socio-cultural, and economic stability at both the local and global scale. Here scholars and practitioners from many countries share insights into relations between the industry and land managers, considering such aspects as the Conservation Corporation Africa model for private reserves, the financial liability of park managers for visitor injuries, and snow manipulation for winter tourism in the Australian Alps.
