It provides the first comprehensive review of ethics across the breadth of travel and tourism experiences, and presents this in a clear and accessible manner for both students and tourism professionals. The Lovelocks demonstrate the importance of ethical considerations in tourism development, management and behaviour, making this fundamental reading for all tourism professionals.' - Alan A. Lew, Department of Geography, Planning and Recreation, Northern Arizona University 'This is the comprehensive book on tourism and ethics that students and staff have been waiting for. Written in a friendly and engaging manner, it is sure to become a 'must have' and sets a new benchmark in tourism studies' - Kevin Hannam, School of Events, Tourism and Hospitality, Leeds Metropolitan University

[It] has an inner structure that is easy to follow combined with novelty approach and practical application. It is enjoyable to read and could be appreciated by both academics and more general audience.' - Miroslava Dimitrova, European Journal of Tourism Research 'I do recommend this book wholeheartedly. Quite simply, it is excellent: it is extremely well-written; is very clearly laid out; includes a fine overview of the theory and practice of ethics both in general and as they apply to tourism; and has excellent case studies, discussion points, chapter reviews, and extensive bibliographies.' - Paul F. Wilkinson, Tourism Management
