Stephen McCool and Neil Moisey are among that group’s most prolific authors; they have compiled, in this volume, 16 case studies from 23 colleagues from the United States, Canada, Australia, Denmark, and the United Kingdom. The book’s basic premise is that “tourism, particularly that which is based upon a region’s natural and cultural heritage, contains both the promises of a better quality of life and protection of the region’s heritage, as well as numerous pitfalls” (p. xi).

The case studies are taken from around the world, including Africa, Latin America, the Arctic, Asia, Europe, and North America.
