The political significance, scientific interest and outstanding natural beauty of the cold, exotic Polar regions are enticing more and more curious travellers to venture to these remote
locations in search of unique experiences and recreational activities. Significant improvements in transport technology have made isolated places more accessible, and tourists now
overwhelmingly outnumber residents in most Polar destinations. This book examines Polar tourism in its environmental, economic and cultural settings and explores the potential for growth as
well as essential management for sustainability.
