As the world's largest industry, tourism has the potential to bring about substantial environmental and socio-economic improvements. This document translates Agenda 21 into a programme of action for the industry.

A comprehensive tourism manual, with contributions from top industry experts from The Bahamas and the Caribbean. Designed primarily for high school and college students in the Caribbean region as well as those interested in furthering their tourism career. "I congratulate and thank Angela Cleare and her contributing partners for this outstanding contribution to travel and tourism literature from a Caribbean perspective. It is obvious that a great deal of work has gone into this well-written book which covers all the elements of the travel and tourism industry as they relate to the region. I believe this will be not only an indispensable textbook for teachers and students and a handbook for investors and others directly involved in the industry but also a publication of interest to all of us who are in one way or another affected by the industry. I am particularly pleased to see the attention paid to ecotourism and the relationship between the industry and the environment." -Arthur A. Foulkes
