"[This] is a unique book that turns the spotlight onto a variety of water-based experiences including boating, motorized water sports, surfing, windsurfing, big game fishing, scuba diving, surfing, rafting, and kayaking. It is the first book to consider the expanding and inter-related industries of water-based tourism, sport, leisure, recreation, their connectivity and interactions. [The book] is divided into four sections focusing on sailing and boating, sport and extreme sport, adventure, and sustainability. The book discusses market profiles, advantages and disadvantages, impacts, and future directions for each of the various water-based experiences presented. International case studies and examples are also used to illustrate and highlight discussion points. Written by a team of international contributors, from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, the USA and New Zealand, many of the chapters are additionally informed by the lived experiences of the authors with regard to the water-based experiences about which they write."--Book jacket.
