Butler, Professor of Tourism, School of Management Studies, University of Surrey, UK and Stephen W. Boyd, Senior Lecturer in the Geography Division, Staffordshire University, UK. National Parks have played a significant role as tourist attractions in many countries since their establishment in the nineteenth century. In some countries they are the major set of tourist attractions and the foundation of small but often important tourism industries. Despite this, the relationship between tourism and national parks is not always a satisfactory one, and there is often considerable and vocal opposition to the continuance, and particularly expansion of, tourism in many national parks. The key focus of this book is the special relationship between national parks and tourism - how national park systems relate to tourism in a variety of contexts - from the historical development through to the role that they play today. International contributions from leading thinkers in the area raise issues such as, park origins and functions, management issues and future problems.

Die Entwicklung von Nationalparks nimmt rapide zu und erfordert, daß die Umweltproblematik - gerade in Randgebieten - besonders umsichtig gelöst wird. Dieser umfassende Band bietet eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung aller Aspekte des Tourismus in Nationalparks. In logische Abschnitte gegliedert, werden ökonomische, soziologische und geographische Fragen behandelt, die für die internationale Tourismusbranche von zentraler Bedeutung sind. Spezialfälle - von den Polkappen bis zu den Wüsten - werden herangezogen, um diese Fragen anschaulich zu erläutern. Darüber hinaus werden diese Fälle jedoch detailliert untersucht, um die Konsequenzen für Planer, Entwickler und Parkmanager herauszuarbeiten und Wege aufzuzeigen, wie man damit umgeht. Das Buch endet mit einem Blick in die Zukunft und diskutiert Fragen der Umweltverträglichkeit, die zwangsläufig auftreten, wenn der Tourismus in Randgebiete weiterhin so rasant zunimmt.
