Bauer (hotel and tourism management, the Hong Kong Polytechnic U., Hong Kong) reviews the history, development, operation, and management of tourism in the Antarctic, based on the author's
experience over several seasons as a tour guide on ships and flights, and supplemented by research and interviews. Some of the topics he focuses on include tourism operations and management in
such remote areas as the Galapagos Islands, Arctic region, and sub-Antarctic islands; the impacts of commercial Antarctic tourism; the motivations, expectations, and images of Antarctica as a
tourist destination; and the future of Antarctic tourism. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
