Reviews

Coral reefs: tourism, conservation and management provides a wonderful multidisciplinary and global review of the world's major coral reef tourist destinations and their future prognosis. Over twenty international experts have been brought together from a diverse range of backgrounds and areas of expertise to compile a four-part assessment of the status of coral reef tourism... Overall, I found it provided fascinating insights into the topic that I was not always expecting and subsequently wanted to inquire further about, and for me that what makes a good read. I would therefore happily recommend the text to teachers, students, academics and NGOs. - Anne-Marie Gerlach, Geographical Education, Vol 32, Australia
