Making Visitors Mindful: Principles for Creating Sustainable Visitor Experiences through Effective Communication (Advances in Tourism Applications)

In addition, visitors will tend to engage in more 'green' (or environmentally responsive) behaviours during their visit. In each chapter, Moscardo provides step-by-step guidelines on how to communicate effectively to achieve sustainable visitor experiences.
