Tourism Ethics (Aspects of Tourism)

Much has been written, often in a wishful thinking mode, about ethics and behaviour in tourism. For the first time an author has written a (lengthy and detailed) volume on the subject, which not only discusses ethics in the context of tourism, but provides the reader with a valuable discussion of the philosophy and necessity of an ethical approach to behaviour. It is a volume that should be required reading for all researchers, developers and particularly decision-makers in tourism.

Dr. Fennell's main research focus is ecotourism, which he has explored for many years. He is the author of Ecotourism: An Introduction (a general text on ecotourism), Ecotourism Programme Planning (a text which examines the strategic programme planning model applied to ecotourism), and co-editor of Ecotourism Policy and Planning. Dr. Fennell is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Ecotourism. He teaches ecotourism and outdoor recreation at Brock University, Canada.
