An Interview with Sanjay Nepal
From: Crisis and Contagion
$1.50
In this chapter, Ian McKay interviews Sanjay Nepal about issues relating to COVID-19. Sanjay Nepal, who received his PhD from the University of Bern in Switzerland, is the past president of the Canadian Association of Geographers and has taught in Texas and British Columbia. He now teaches at the University of Waterloo. He is the author of four books and 132 papers, mainly focused on tourism in the modern world, with specific reference to Nepal and its environs. Great Himalaya (2002) examines the changing dynamics of tourism in that country, and the 2016 collection, Political Ecology and Tourism, coedited with Jarkko Saarinen, is highly regarded in the field. Professor Nepal has written extensively on overtourism, the cultural consequences of tourism, and on hopes that the industry can transition from being one of the planet’s most conspicuous polluters to something far more sustainable.
