"The book does a fine job in describing and analyzing them in depth and providing detailed information on geographic patterns, trends in tourism, and the different countries' political and institutional organization. ... the analysis presented here provides a rich and updated picture of a large part of Asia that should serve as a key reference for a global analysis of the interaction between nature and people in the mountains of the Anthropocene." (Ricardo Grau, Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 42 (1), February, 2022)
