"All too often the problems are well hidden," says Tricia Barnett, Director of Tourism Concern. "How would you know that this beautiful hotel is on land snatched from fishermen and for which they weren't compensated? How would you know that the water in the pool and shower are depleting local people's resources and their access to water is limited to two hours a day - as in villages in Goa?"
About Tourism Concern Tourism Concern works with communities in destination countries to reduce social and environmental problems connected to tourism and with the out-going tourism industry in the UK to find ways of improving tourism - so that local benefits are increased. This book is the product of over 15 years of research into what makes a holiday ethical.
"A crucial read for any environmentally-aware traveller" Ian Waller, Real Travel Magazine
