✦ Synopsis

with protected areas ' (p. 34). The authors conclude that in order for tourism to be maximised in developing countries the stakeholders need to subscribe to sustainable development principles by protecting the environment, adequately resourcing conservation, providing bene®ts for host communities and ensuring realistic economic returns from tourism.

The two books in the series complement each other well and taken together they provide a wonderful resource for anyone researching tourism development in natural environments. They are ®lled with practical case studies, are set out in clear easy to follow segments, and are enhanced by sound sets of references. I would have liked to have seen the addition of some photographs to illustrate the various aspects of tourism under study but overall this is only a minor criticism of two excellent resources. I commend them to anyone researching the links between tourism and the environment as sound practical manuscripts, which throw up a number of considerations underpinning the conceptual and theoretical frameworks of this area of study.
