‘New Frontiers in Marine Tourism’ is the first book of this kind to address and analyse this burgeoning tourism sector comprehensively.

* different types of diving locations and their particular characteristics and the geographical distribution of dive locations
* the growth and economic significance of diving tourism in destinations worldwide
* different motivations and typologies of diving tourists, their learning behaviour, knowledge of marine environments, and their interaction with flora and fauna.
* diver satisfaction, attitudes and preferences, education and interpretation, and compliance with regulations
* environmental impacts, and aspects of risk and health.
