Ecotourism, Sustainable Tourism and Nature Based Tourism: An Analysis of Emerging Fields in Tourism Scientific Literature

The emergence and rapid growth of tourism paradigms such as ecotourism, sustainable tourism, and nature-based tourism signify a shift towards more environmentally and culturally conscious forms of tourism. We conduct a comparative analysis of these emerging fields with the aim of providing insights...
