Leisure travel is more widespread and accessible than ever before, but the world faces the growing problem of its unintended consequences. The desire to explore the globe has led to an increase in tourism, with billions of individuals traveling to various destinations, fueling economic growth and infrastructure development. However, it has brought forth many challenges that demand our attention, including the unsustainable consumption of energy, environmental degradation, climate change, and the excessive cost of maintaining tourist hotspots. The high influx of visitors to many destinations has left more than just a negative imprint upon nature, it has also disrupted the daily lives and livelihoods of residents. To address these pressing issues, Supporting Environmental Stability Through Ecotourism presents one possible solution in the form of a comprehensive book on ecotourism and sustainable tourism. It delves deep into the transformative power of ecotourism, offering insights into its economic, social, and cultural impacts. This book provides a holistic model for ecotourism adaptation and explores its potential as a sustainable alternative to traditional tourism. By examining the consumption patterns of eco-tourists and providing theoretical and literature support, this book offers valuable resources for prospective research in the field.

Despite its tiny size and seeming marginality to world affairs, the Central American republic of Costa Rica has long been considered an important site for experimentation in cutting-edge environmental policy. From protected area management to ecotourism to payment for environmental services (PES) and beyond, for the past half-century the country has successfully positioned itself at the forefront of novel trends in environmental governance and sustainable development. Yet the increasingly urgent dilemma of how to achieve equitable economic development in a world of ecosystem decline and climate change presents new challenges, testing Costa Rica’s ability to remain a leader in innovative environmental governance. This book explores these challenges, how Costa Rica is responding to them, and the lessons this holds for current and future trends regarding environmental governance and sustainable development. It provides the first comprehensive assessment of successes and challenges as they play out in a variety of sectors, including agricultural development, biodiversity conservation, water management, resource extraction, and climate change policy. By framing Costa Rica as an “ecolaboratory,” the contributors in this volume examine the lessons learned and offer a path for the future of sustainable development research and policy in Central America and beyond.
