This book brings together literature on Coastal and Marine Tourism to provide a comprehensive introduction to the development, impacts and management of Tourism in these coastal regions to offer insight into what makes this distinct from other forms tourism. The book achieves this by reviewing the history and motivation for coastal and marine tourist visits. It then reviews tourist activity, its organization and interaction with three main types of place: shorelines, urban resorts, and the ocean. In order to supply tourists’ needs, resources and businesses in these settings are then discussed and analyzed, within both an economic and geographical context. The focus of discussion then moves to examining the impacts of coastal and marine tourism on environments and local people, as well as future sustainable development. The book takes a multidisciplinary approach and offers original models for consideration and debate. It looks at coastal tourism globally, drawing out both underlying themes and cultural differences that impact upon coastal and marine tourism in different parts of the world. Well chosen international case studies with reflective questions at the end are integrated throughout to provide readers with valuable insight into the practicalities of developing and managing these destinations. To encourage reflection on main themes address and critical thinking, discussion questions and links to further reading are included in each chapter. This introduction to Coastal Tourism is essential reading for students studying on Tourism as well as Coastal Management programmes.

P.P. Wong ABSTRACT Tourism is environmentally dependent. The unique character ofcoastal areas gives rise to a distinctive tourist development. Although accounts on the impacts ofcoastal tourism can be found in works relating to tourism in general, there are few works specifically on coastal tourism. This present volume focuses on the physical environment of coastal tourism, particularly the geomorphological aspects. The papers deal with basic aspects of the coastal environment for tourism, methodologies for assessing the coastal environment for tourism and empirical studies of various types of coastal environment with tourism development. The resultinggeneralisations are expected to be applied elsewhere. TOURISM AND ENVIRONMENT Environment has various meanings for tourism. In its broadest sense, the environment includes all natural and cultural elements as in OECD's (1981) definition to encompass the natural, built and cultural aspects. This holistic approach is encouraged in understanding the potential impacts arising from tourism. A narrower meaning of environment is the natural and built environment as used by Cohen (1978) and Inskeep (1991: 339). Environment can also be restricted to the natural or physical environment, in order to distinguish it from the economic and social aspects of tourism, as used by tourism researchers (e.g. Mathieson and Wall, 1982; Pearce, 1989). This approach is used predominantly in this volume. Various relationships between tourism and the physical aspects ofthe coast are discussed. There are basic relationships between environment and tourism. Tourism is environmentally dependent and the environment is vulnerable to the impact of tourism.

Current climatic and environmental trends mean that a large number of important coastal destinations across the globe are under threat of change or gradual disappearance. Many of these locations are also significant tourist destinations, such as the Great Barrier Reef, the Everglades National Park or large swathes of the Mediterranean basin. Tourism activity both exacerbates the problem and highlights the importance of protecting these often fragile environments. This book discusses threats to, and consequences of, tourism growth and the impacts of climate change on such coastal zones. It examines policy initiatives, local and national options for managing the potential crisis and recommends steps and management options towards ameliorating projected impacts on coastal tourism infrastructure. This is an important book for researchers and students of leisure and tourism, land-use planning, environmental and coastal management and all those interested in and working with the environment, conservation and sustainability.
