This third edition has been fully revised and updated to include:updated chapters addressing modern thought and discourse, including neoliberalism, consumer culture and quality management in the ecotourism industry;critical analysis drawn from a range of theoretical frameworks, which models and advances the thinking in ecotourism towards a socio-geographical analysis;new and international case studies from emerging markets such as China and Brazil.Providing a critical introduction to the analysis of tourism from a sociological and geographical perspective, the title is essential reading for higher-level and graduate students and researchers in tourism, sociology and geography.
