This review is from: The Other Side of Paradise: Tourism, Conservation and Development in the Bay Islands (Tourism Dynamics) (Hardcover)

- One of the best academic books of the year, The Other Side of Paradise reviews tourism, conservation and development in the Bay Islands. The author has focused on tourism and development for many years and this volume is a well-written synthesis of her findings. She explores the historical legacy of the Bay Islands and the expansion of the international tourism market. All is not well in Paradise as she documents the negative impacts on the communities and the local ecosystems. Maps, black and white photos and illustrations compliment the text.

This review is from: The Other Side of Paradise: Tourism, Conservation and Development in the Bay Islands (Tourism Dynamics) (Hardcover)

I really enjoyed this insightful masterpiece. I have visited the Bay Islands on numerous occasions over many years. I can honestly say that this book very accurately depicts the consequences of tourism on the people, communities, and environment. The book really opened my eyes to the fact that if development of the tourism industry continues at such a rapid pace, then in time the paradise that I enjoy so much may not turn out to be such a paradise after all. Thank you.
