As a result of the ongoing growth in the tourism industry, many
destinations around the world are undergoing transformations. New
destinations are being "discovered" in regions previously ignored,
as people search for regions that are yet unspoiled by the ravages
of mass tourism. At the same time, traditional destinations are
experiencing rapid environmental, socio-cultural and economic
modifications. These changes have the most effect on the
destination community - the location where tourists spend their
time and money, and influence development or degradation of the
local environment."Tourism in Destination Communities" describes
both the positive and negative effects of tourism on the
destination community. The chapters are divided into three sections
which address the relationship between tourism and the destination
community, the various impacts of tourism on the destination
community and the challenges and opportunities for destination
communities. Each chapter contains brief case studies and empirical
examples.
