It aims to make a meaningful contribution to the growing body of knowledge concerning the relationships between animals tourists and the tourism industry. The chapters are organised into three themes: ethics and welfare; conflict contradiction and contestation; and shifting relationships. Theoretically informed and empirically rich the chapters examine topics such as whale watching animal performances the objectification and commodification of animals and stakeholder conflict among a range of others.
