Tourism and the Environment: An Overview

  • Chapter
Book cover Tourism and the Environment

Part of the book series: Environment & Assessment ((ENAS,volume 6))

Abstract

Seven years ago, in 1992, the first edition of the present volume appeared with the title Tourism and the Environment: Regional, Economic and Policy Issues. For the most part, it contained modified versions of papers presented at the 30th European Congress of the Regional Science Association, which had taken place in Istanbul, Turkey, in August 1990. This was one of the first occasions where conference sessions were devoted to the tourism-environment relationship. Also non-conference papers were included as they tackled important regional, economic and policy dimensions of the tourism-environment relationship. As the first edition was quite well received by the community of academics and practitioners and as all copies were already sold in 1996, the publishers requested a second edition. By that time, however, things had changed. Tourism and the environment gained importance in academic and policy circles, specialised journals and numerous books were being published, conferences were organised on this theme exclusively, and more dimensions of the relationship were being investigated, while the sustainable tourism development concept had attained top priority. Hence, there was a need to broaden the scope of the second edition to cover some of the new developments related to the topic of the book. The new title reflects, in part, these changes, by the introduction of the ‘cultural’ dimension. Also, the book now contains 22 instead of the original 14 contributions. Moreover, most of the old chapters have been revised to include new data and information which have been added to the body of existing knowledge in the course of the 7 years since the first edition appeared (or, even earlier). In fact, this is a new book with an old title. Linda Bokhout organised and completed the format of the book, and she fitted the chapters of the authors to this framework.

This publication was supported by the Saxifraga Foundation, Tilburg and the Department of Leisure Studies of Tilburg University, the Netherlands.
