About the Book

The vast dynamic coastal and marine environments are home to some of the most breath-taking landscapes and diverse ecosystems on our planet. They attract millions of visitors each year, providing significant economic opportunities for many communities. However, the influx of tourists posed considerable challenges, including environmental degradation, overexploitation of resources, and socio-cultural disruptions. In the face of these challenges, the need for sustainable practices in coastal and marine tourism has never been more critical. This edited volume, "Sustainable Coastal and Marine Tourism Practices", seeks to address these pressing issues by bringing together the latest research and practical insights from experts in the field. The aim is to provide a comprehensive resource that highlights innovative strategies, successful case studies, and the essential principles for promoting sustainability in coastal and marine tourism. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a crucial aspect of sustainable tourism: 1. Environmental Conservation explores the measures necessary to protect and preserve the delicate marine ecosystem. This includes discussions on marine protected areas, coral reef conservation and effective waste management practices. 2. Sustainable Infrastructure and development examines the role of eco-friendly accommodations, renewable energy, and green transportation in reducing the environmental footprint of tourism activities. 3. Community involvement and Socio-cultural Sustainability emphasizes the importance of engaging local communities in the tourism development process. It showcases how empowering local populations can lead to more equitable and culturally respectful tourism practices. 4. Policy and regulation looks into the frameworks needed to support sustainable tourism. This section discusses the role of government regulations, certifications and stakeholder collaboration in ensuring long-term sustainability. 5. Education and awareness underscores the critical role of educating both tourists and local communities about sustainable practices and the benefits of conservation efforts. The contributors to this volume are distinguished scholars, practitioners and academicians who offer diverse perspectives and deep insights into the complexities of sustainable coastal and marine tourism. Their collective expertise provides a well-rounded understanding of the multifaceted nature of this field and the interdisciplinary approaches required to address its challenges.
