Description

Mountaineering Tourism examines the explosive growth of high altitude climbing expeditions and their global impact. Published by Routledge, this academic work traces the evolution from the 1993 British Mountaineering Council's concerns about overcrowding on Everest to the modern reality of hundreds of climbers summiting in a single day. The book addresses critical issues including environmental degradation, social responsibility, and regulatory frameworks designed to mitigate the consequences of mass mountaineering tourism. Part of the Contemporary Geographies of Leisure, Tourism and Mobility series, it provides scholarly analysis of how recreational climbing has transformed from an elite pursuit into a major tourism industry, examining the tensions between accessibility, sustainability, and the protection of mountain environments and local communities.

Key Features

Mountaineering Tourism is published by Routledge as part of the Contemporary Geographies of Leisure, Tourism and Mobility academic series.

The book explores the dramatic escalation in high altitude climbing participation, documenting how Everest expeditions grew from controversial queuing in 1993 to 234 summits in a single 2012 day.

Addresses environmental and social responsibility concerns that drove initial discussions about regulating mountaineering tourism impacts.

Examines regulatory frameworks and best practices for minimising the environmental and cultural consequences of mass mountaineering expeditions.

Provides academic analysis of how mountaineering transformed from an exclusive pursuit into a global tourism phenomenon over three decades.
