There has been little research on tourism in those European
countries or regions which lie outside the continent's main centres
of production and population, even though tourism may be one of the
few economic options open to them. This volume aims to fill a gap
by presenting a range of case studies - including northern Sweden,
the Orkneys, the tip of Norway and northern Cyprus - on tourism in
the peripheral areas of Europe. Taking as a leitmotiv the paradoxes
inherent in developing places whose very attraction may lie in
their lack of development, the case studies investigate and
illustrate both the opportunities and the threats that tourism
presents to peripheral areas. Although they share certain
similarities, the cases also demonstrate differing approaches to
tourism development and varying outcomes over time. They suggest
solutions for dealing with, for example, community participation as
well as providing practical insights into visitor perceptions of
peripheral areas and into ways of marketing such areas in a
sensitive manner. Together they provide a picture of the needs of
peripheral areas and of how far and how best tourism can fulfil
those needs.
