Tourism Development - Growth, Myths and Inequalities (Hardcover)

This book is a collection of essays from specialist scholars evaluating tourism as a means of simulating economic growth and fighting economic inequalities in poor countries. As a tool for poverty reduction in economically underdeveloped regions, tourism has been at the forefront of the international development agenda. This book takes an in-depth look at the successes and failures of tourism in this role, and considers why tourism as a catalyst for economic development can be a controversial device.
