South-East Asia has developed rapidly as a tourist destination, but
what are the effects of this growth upon the peoples of the region?
How far is it possible to control the impact of tourism whilst also
supporting the industry's role in the region's development? This
book, first published in 1993, attempts to answer these questions
by providing a critical analysis of the nature of tourism as it has
developed in the area. It questions commonly held assumptions about
tourism both from a western perspective and from the point of view
of policy makers in the region. It explores central issues such as
the impact of tourism on the environment, culture and the economy,
placing it within an historical and political context in order to
assess the implications of current developments. The contributors
use case studies from a variety of countries on such aspects as the
sex industry, dream holidays and rural handicrafts, assessing
tourist perceptions, both domestic and international, and policy
decisions. By taking a long-term perspective it should provoke
thought on the ways to develop sustainable tourism for the future.
