"Tourism, Development and Growth" presents a comprehensive
examination of the concept of sustainability as it relates to
tourism growth. Set within the context of rapid change in
contemporary tourism and world trends, the contributors explore how
new geopolitical, socioeconomic, technological and environmental
circumstances are influencing world tourism today.
Focusing on different types of tourism appropriate to particular
situations, the essays offer examples from around the
world--including the US and Canada--to explore issues concerning
tourism's contribution to economic, social, political and
environmental advancement of developing countries, and the
challenges to and the importance of tourism in industrialized
nations. This book identifies the opportunities and challenges
inherent in achieving sustainable tourism while accommodating
growth, and examines new policies and initiatives necessary, from
both the private sector and the state, to pursue tourism growth in
an uncertain and changing world.
