Ecotourism and Sustainable Development: Who Owns Paradise?
By Martha Honey
If you might be looking for a behind the scenes look at the ecotourism
industry as well as a glimpse into various eco projects around the planet,
this book provides detailed description of both. In particular, Honey
describes the impacts of eco projects in seven locations, Cuba, Costa Rica,
South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, and the Galapagos, and delves into
the issue of whether or not these projects are really working.

studies and photographs from around the globe including the U.S., Mexico,

towards understanding the key concepts of the subject.
Adventures in Nature Mexico
by Ron Mader
The author of this guide to Mexico had the ecotourist in mind when writing
this book. It’s packed with information on the area’s vast number of nature
reserves and also with harder to find material such as tips on staying with
locals. The book provides a great overview of the country as well as being a
solid blueprint for future guidebooks catered to the ecotourist.
