| Tóm tắt: | This book had its genesis in the author’s previous employment (1981–1984) as a park ranger at
Uluru-Katatjuta National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia. This involved working with
Anangu Aboriginal people on cultural interpretation and land management issues. Uluru (Ayers
Rock) is a major tourism icon and culturally significant area, handed back to Anangu Aboriginal
people in 1985.
Starting at Uluru, this interest in conservation and Indigenous cultures continued through to a
doctoral study of Iban longhouse tourism in Sarawak, Borneo (1991–1994) and postdoctoral
research on Indigenous cultural tourism in Australia, New Zealand and Canada (1996–2000).
The initial academic studies of Indigenous tourism in the mid-1990s have now emerged into a
major theme or focus at recent tourism or ecotourism conferences in Australia, New Zealand,
USA, Canada, Africa and Asia.
This cross-disciplinary research on Indigenous tourism involves tourism, business, geography,
anthropology and other areas, along with varied Indigenous groups.
This specific book emerged from an invitation by Professor David Weaver, editor of the CABI
Ecotourism Series, to develop a book proposal that focused on Indigenous ecotourism. The subsequent
acceptance of this book proposal by CABI indicates a broadening of the academic coverage
of ecotourism from certification, policy and management to local communities and
Indigenous peoples. |
