Tourism and nature conservation: An economic analysis of a symbiotic relationship

(2021) Tourism and nature conservation: An economic analysis of a symbiotic relationship. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis addresses research gaps derived from the literature which centre on how and in what circumstances tourism and tourism revenue can be used as a compensation and a conservation tool. The findings of the thesis contribute to a better formulation of environmental and economic policy by examining how revenue generated from NBT could be used for nature conservation activities and wildlife stewardship. The findings focused on an assessment of the extent to which the science of economics could play a role in ameliorating the human-elephant conflict (HEC) in Sri Lanka.
