Kia Ora ...?...,
thanks for you quick reply!
Torsten Kirstges (Professor for Tourism in Germany) and I will edit a book
about ecotourism. The contents might be very broad as we think that
different aspects are very interesting. Depending on the contributions we'll
get, there might be 2 main parts in it: 1. Ecotourism policy and definitions
and managment; and 2. Ecotourism projects in different countries of the
world.
The chapters should be about 8-15 pages long, so you are quite free with the
lenght as well.
As you might know, there is no money in publishing text books. The few
dollars we might get will be gone for the administration etc. So we
unfortunately cannot offer any money for the work. I know it is a very
dissatisfying situation, but I can't help it. At least it gives the
opportunity for being published. I don't know the publisher, yet, but will
ask Torsten about it. He published a few books already (as you can see on my
homepage) and so I assume it will be one of his publishers...
I hope this gave you a bit more information you need. We were happy if you'd
participate! If you need any more information, please do not hesitate to
e-mail me....
Hope to hear from you, soon!
