The second edition of this text contains no major changes from the first edition in either structure or content. As noted in the authors’ preface: the bibliography has been updated; each chapter now contains a couple of recommendations for further reading; and there is a new chapter consisting of three case studies. There are 10 chapters in this edition. The first reviews definitions, and the second summarises philosophies. The third introduces policy issues, the fourth considers tourism in parks, the fifth focuses on interpretation, and the sixth looks at links with local communities. Chapter Seven presents case studies of the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea, trekking porters in Nepal, and surf tourism in Indonesia’s Mentawai Islands. The last three chapters cover marketing, tourist motivations, and tourism-based development models. There is also a glossary and a list of websites.
