Dear Pepperlanders,

Welcome to this month's highlights in

Travel and Tourism

This month we have a diverse collection of books for people who have a passing or professional interest in tourism.

These books deal with issues such as marine tourism, the influence of commercial tourism on the environment and land managers, and also the specific field of tourism in South Africa.

With global warming and ecological preservation in the spotlight, these topics are relevant and highly readable, and debate the benefits of tourism for economic growth, versus the negative impact that tourism can have on the environment.

Enjoy browsing!
