Publisher's Synopsis
In recent years there has been a boom in holidays proclaiming themselves to be ethical and responsible. Responsible travel is promoted and advocated by campaigns, NGOs and many 'alternative' travel companies. The message is mixed - few can agree on precisely what does and what does not constitute ethical or responsible tourism, but most agree that there is a need to curb the excesses of the industry and of holiday makers themselves.
The contributors cover a range of differing perspectives on ethical tourism.
