Sea-Borne Tourism in Antarctica: Avenues for Further Intergovernmental Regulation
Abstract During the past 3,5 decades, sea-borne (cruise) tourism in Antarctica has steadily intensified and diversified. So far, the States involved in the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), who have collectively assumed a mandate as well as a responsibility for governing Antarctica, have been relativel...
