Beskrivning

Tourism in marine and coastal environments is one of the fastest-growing segments of global tourism, particularly in small island and coastal destinations where livelihoods, culture, and ecosystems are deeply intertwined. These environments are also among the most ecologically fragile and socially complex. This book responds to the urgent need for applied, case-based scholarship that moves beyond abstract principles to explore how sustainability actually unfolds on the ground. This book foregrounds blue resilience as an integrative framework for understanding how tourism can support ecological stewardship, community well-being, and meaningful visitor experiences while operating within planetary limits. Rather than presenting universal "best practices," the book critically assesses lessons, tensions, and trade-offs, making it especially relevant for teaching, policy making, and destination management. Master sustainable marine and coastal tourism as a tool for ecological restoration, economic inclusion, and cultural empowerment - especially in vulnerable Small Island Developing States (SIDS)- through drawing from practical examples (from Aruba and Brazil to Hong Kong and Australia). This volume showcases how community-led approaches, co-management, and regenerative principles are transforming the tourism sector in coastal, marine, and island environments.
