Description
These two interconnected volumes are organized around a central theme: How coastal and marine tourism must be sustainably planned, built, and operated in this era of climate change. The primary audience is the tourism industry, both individual businesses and associations, especially those connected with coastal and marine tourism but also anyone with interests in sustainable practices. In addition, the market for this publication will include university courses in areas such as tourism planning and management, sustainability, climate change, and economic development. We expect that the volume will also interest government planners, international development and financing agencies, NGOs, and others involved in or interested in the nexus of tourism and climate change. We propose that it be co-published by Business Expert Press and the Center for Responsible Travel. Given length guidelines, we are proposing that BEP and CREST co-publish two connected but standalone volumes, one focusing on coastal tourism and the other on marine tourism. We also envision that CREST may publish a combined single volume, with additional materials, through another publisher or self-published at a future date.
