Steve McCool and Keith Bosak produce new book on Research and Sustainable Tourism

One aspect of managing for sustainable tourism is research and science. As our knowledge base increases we build understanding of how resilient systems and communities function and the role of tourism in working toward that goal. Steve and Keith have put together a new book published by Edward Elgar Publishing. Titled "A Research Agenda for Sustainable Tourism" or RAST for short, the authors, from many places in the world, identify important previous research and information needs confronting tourism destination and protected area managers, academics and other scientists. The book contains 15 chapters on such subjects as sustainable tourism research and climate change, public lands, UN Development Goals, systems thinking, health, business, community based tourism, and marketing. Each chapter is written by experienced scientists. The book will be launched on 27 September 2019. You can find more information, including ordering at Edward Elgar Publishing (https://www.e-elgar.com/shop/a-research-agenda-for-sustainable-tourism) or at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Research-Agenda-Sustainable-Tourism-Agendas/dp/1788117093/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=research+agenda+for+sustainable+tourism&qid=1567348640&s=gateway&sr=8-1).
