Handbook for Sustainable Tourism Practitioners

Edited by Anna Spenceley, CEO, Spenceley Tourism And Development (STAND Ltd) and Senior Research Fellow, University of Johannesburg, South Africa

'Written by world experts in their fields, it fills a gap in the market for sustainable tourism research that is helpful and practical. It is gratifying to read all these chapters from consultants and practice-oriented academics that I have admired for years, which allow us an insight into the experience they have gained over decades of working for some of the most influential international organisations, overseas development agencies, governments and protected areas.'
