Environmental Management and the Competitiveness of Nature-Based Tourism Destinations

Twan Huybers and Jeffrey Bennett

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Environmental management, either voluntary or imposed, can add to the costs of nature-based tourism businesses. Such costs can make tourism destinations less competitive, but the same activities can also enhance competitiveness by increasing demand. The aim of this book is to provide an assessment of the relative importance of these two opposing effects in the context of a case study of nature-based tourism in Tropical North Queensland, Australia.
