  • More about Living on the Edge: Benefit-Sharing from Protected Area Tourism


Tourism plays a vital role in the financial sustainability of protected areas and can positively impact numerous stakeholders. However, benefit-sharing is complex and requires effective governance, accountability, equity, transparency, and a broad reach of stakeholder engagement. Good governance, accountability, equity, transparency, a broad reach of stakeholder engagement, and a robust combination of tangible and intangible benefits are essential for successful benefit-sharing systems.

Tourism plays a vital role in ensuring the financial sustainability of protected areas, fostering positive impacts on various stakeholders both within and outside these conservation zones. Benefit-Sharing from Protected Area Tourism delves into the intricate dynamics of benefit-sharing, emphasizing the significance of identifying all relevant stakeholders, addressing equity and sustainability challenges, and upholding effective governance. The book underscores the evolution of benefit-sharing mechanisms over time, highlighting the need for adaptability and evolution to meet the unique circumstances of each situation. While this book primarily focuses on benefit-sharing from protected area tourism, it is important to acknowledge the associated costs, such as potential increases in local prices, loss of access to land, human-wildlife conflicts, and other related expenses. The contributing authors collectively assert that benefit-sharing must encompass good governance, accountability, equity, transparency, broad stakeholder engagement, and a blend of tangible and intangible benefits. Recognizing the dynamic nature of benefit-sharing systems, they emphasize the importance of their adaptability and ability to evolve as necessary, tailored to the specific context and needs of each protected area.

The chapters in this book were originally featured as a special issue of the Journal of Sustainable Tourism, contributing to the ongoing discourse on sustainable tourism practices and their implications for conservation and community development.
