Very few tourism scholars have used political ecology as a lens to examine tourism-centric natural resource management issues. This book brings together a experts in the field to provide a global exploration of the application of political ecology to tourism. "Nepal and Saarinen (2016) acknowledge in their concluding remarks that this volume is meant to be a building block for future political ecology research in tourism. Indeed, it is a great effort to highlight political ecology as a useful lens for tourism research, especially for topics related to communities, power, conservation and sustainability. Political ecology and tourism should be of interest to scholars and practitioners as both theories and practical recommendations are present throughout."
