Summary:

This book offers a compilation of transdisciplinary contributions that demonstrate the features of the relationship between tourism, health, wellbeing and protected areas. Attention is given to case studies stemming from current and future trends around these topics. Many of these case studies take place in European settings. The book has been divided into two sections. The first section (chapters 1-9) focuses on exploring the challenges and opportunities to achieve sustainable human and natural ecosystems' development through tourism. The second section (chapters 10-17) forwards important discussions on the intrinsic and extrinsic relationships between tourists, visitors and protected areas and the health and wellbeing benefits that these and other nature-based restorative and recreational environments can have on individuals. The book has a subject index.
