How eco is eco-tourism? A systematic assessment of resorts on the Red Sea, Egypt (2020)
Journal Article
Gohar, A., & Kondolf, G. (2020). How eco is eco-tourism? A systematic assessment of resorts on the Red Sea, Egypt. Sustainability, 12(23), 20. https://doi.org/10.3390/su122310139

Eco-tourism is a growing part of the tourism industry. However, there are no agreed-upon criteria of what constitutes eco-tourism, so the industry is currently self-identified, with eco-lodges simply declaring themselves so. Here we present the first...

Adaptive co-management (ACM) is an emerging approach to the governance of social-ecological systems, but there are few long-term assessments of its efficacy. This is especially true in conservation conflicts, where ACM can mitigate disputes between p...
