Sustainable Development of Ecotourism - A Compilation of Good Practices
in SMEs
Price: 35.00 € / 40.00 US$
Published: May 2003
Pages: 305
ISBN: 9284406218
Available in: English
Abstract :
This compilation contains 65 case studies received from 47 countries about
exemplary practices in small ecotourism businesses (SMEs). The cases
provide rich details on methodologies and business approaches applied
successfully by a wide range of ecotourism companies; they provide a
valuable well of information that can serve for generating ideas and
adapting sustainable ecotourism practices to the specific local conditions
elsewhere. The experiences presented in this book come directly from the
field, from the people who have developed these initiatives and who are
daily in charge of these business ventures. They reflect well the
complexity of small businesses, the great challenges and opportunities
they face, and the endless creativity that this business allows for.
