Book Description
The creation of the Nunavik is a major step forward, both for the Province of Quebec and its Inuit population. Not only does it underline the recognition of the Inuit people and their identity but it also stresses the importance of discussing some fundamental issues regarding the emancipation of the Inuit, their empowerment, the development and management of the northern resources of Quebec, and the protection and conservation of the fragile Nordic ecosystems. Rich in culture and scenery, Nunavik has identified tourism as one of the main and best suited avenue for economic development. But before Nunavik can truly enjoy the benefits of a well established tourism “industry”, many challenges need to be met. The development of tourism in a new destination is not only challenging but it requires human efforts, political and economic will over a large amount of time without much guaranties as to what will work or not.It is in this context that in August 2008, the members of the newly created International Polar Tourism Research Network (IPTRN) came to Kangiqsujjuak, Nunavik, to discuss how tourism can play a role in regional development. The collection of articles presented here is the result of the coming together of a group of polar tourism researchers from around the world, who met in Nunavik - the northernmost part of Quebec, to discuss polar tourism as a tool for regional development. Such a book does not claim to address all issues facing the polar destinations. It is nevertheless a base for reflection. Many of the new emerging regions of the circumpolar world, like the Nunavik, are experimenting with new powers and responsibilities.For scientists, this is an excellent time to assist with the experiences that have been well documented from other Northern, Arctic and polar regions. For tourism, this book is meant to offer a range of perspectives on how challenges can be met and how solutions can be implemented for the benefit of all local interests.

This handbook is intended to be used by small and medium businesses, including those under development, entrepreneurs, and organizations in the tourism industry as a resource and a guide to adopt specific actions to become more sustainable and successful.
Book Description
Face au modèle dominant d’aménagement de grands complexes hôteliers conçus pour satisfaire les besoins du tourisme de masse recherchant le soleil, la plage et l’amusement, l’écotourisme apparaît comme une solution réaliste de développement durable. Ce nouveau modèle, basé sur la conservation de l’environnement et sur la participation des communautés locales à l’activité touristique, représente un marché en croissance grandement convoité. Trois décennies après l’apparition de la notion d’écotourisme, qu’en est-il au juste ? Parlons-nous toujours d’un tourisme aux pratiques alternatives et responsables ou d’un concept marketing vide de sens dédié d’abord à l’attraction et à la fidélisation de nouvelles clientèles ? Aménagistes, économistes, géographes, gestionnaires, juristes et politicologues discutent des avancées et des limites de ce phénomène social. Se penchant sur des cas du Québec, de la France, des Antilles, de l’Europe et de l’Afrique, ils analysent les stratégies déployées par les acteurs de l’écotourisme et leurs impacts sur la dynamique sociospatiale des territoires. S’adressant tant aux chercheurs et intervenants du milieu touristique qu’aux amateurs d’écotourisme, cet ouvrage collectif vise à partager la signification et les composantes de l’écotourisme en soulignant des initiatives écotouristiques entreprises partout dans le monde. Il s’inscrit ainsi dans la lignée du premier opus dirigé par Christiane Gagnon, L’écotourisme, entre l’arbre et l’écorce, qui connaît un vif succès depuis sa parution en 2006.

The concept of ecotourism relates to tourism activities which observe and appreciate nature, which contribute to its conservation, and seek to minimise any negative impact on the natural and socio-cultural environment. The main objective of this publication is to disseminate good practices regarding the planning and management of ecotourism activities. It contains 55 case studies from 39 countries which demonstrate a wide range of successful initiatives. Each considers the stakeholders involved, objectives and strategies, funding, sustainability and monitoring aspects, problems encountered and solutions found in each project.

Author: Jean-Pierre Oliver De-Sardan Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing ISBN: 1848130554 Category : Social Science Languages : en Pages : 257
Book Description
This book re-establishes the relevance of mainstream anthropological (and sociological) approaches to development processes and simultaneously recognizes that contemporary development ought to be anthropology's principal area of study. Professor de Sardan argues for a socio-anthropology of change and development that is a deeply empirical, multidimensional, diachronic study of social groups and their interactions. The Introduction provides a thought-provoking examination of the principal new approaches that have emerged in the discipline during the 1990s. Part I then makes clear the complexity of social change and development, and the ways in which socio-anthropology can measure up to the challenge of this complexity. Part II looks more closely at some of the leading variables involved in the development process, including relations of production; the logics of social action; the nature of knowledge; forms of mediation; and 'political' strategies.

Book Description
Aquaculture is developing, expanding and intensifying in almost all regions of the world, except in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the sector appears to be capable of meeting the gap between future demand and supply for aquatic food, there are many constraints and challenges which must be addressed in order to at least maintain the present level of per capita consumption at the global level. Key issues are the need for enhanced enforcement of regulation and better governance of the sector, as well as greater producer participation in the decision-making and regulation process. This publication examines past trends in aquaculture development as well as the current global status, drawing on a number of national and regional reviews.
