 | Zoos and Tourism This is the first book to specifically examine zoos as tourist attractions. Taking a global approach, it considers the multiple roles of zoos, particularly the difficulty of balancing conservation, education and entertainment. Dr Warwick Frost lectures in Tourism and the Environment at La Trobe University in Australia. His research interests include natural and cultural heritage, tourist attractions and the interplay between tourism and popular culture. He also researches in Environmental History. He was the co-editor (with C. Michael Hall) of Tourism and National Parks (2009) and is a co-convenor of the biennial International Tourism and Media Conferences. |
