 Editorial Reviews:

This book provides the first global review and assessment of the sustainable use of active and dormant volcanic and geothermal environments for geotourism. The volcano-based tourism sector is further augmented through a closely linked range of geothermal resources and attractions, such as geysers and hot springs, which are discussed in detail throughout individual chapters covering all key volcanic and geothermal regions around the world. It is shown that volcano and geothermal tourism is a subsection of nature-based geotourism and incorporates a variety of other tourism categories such as adventure tourism, extreme tourism, ecotourism, green tourism, educational tourism, and hot spring tourism. In many of these forms of tourism risk management is neglected as there are no international guidelines for visitor safety and prevention of accidents. It is therefore timely to offer a comprehensive book which covers the most important issues of this growing tourism sector and reflects relevant global research as well as recommendations for international safety guidelines and sustainable management.

 

'Volcanoes attract tourists because of their beauty, excitement, and cultural aspects. This excellent book is an invaluable reference for volcano tourism and its management, bringing together contributions from experts in a variety of fields and geographic locations. Easy to read, full of practical advice, and very enjoyable.' Dr. Rosaly Lopes, Jet Propulsion Laboratory; Author, "The Volcano Adventure Guide"

'This book is the first to assess Volcano Tourism as an individual sector with a commendable focus on risk management and sustainability. Covering a wide range of volcanic and geothermal destinations it is a comprehensive reference for students, scientists and tourism professionals.' Professor Dimitrios Buhalis, Bournemouth University, UK
