Former communist countries face unique issues in developing and
marketing tourism businesses, communities, and attractions because
of centralized polices that discouraged international influences.
While soviet economies relied on state policies to facilitate
community development, the success of capitalism lies in access to
a variety of resources, such as the environment, fiscal services,
infrastructure, and market knowledge at the local level. Moreover,
communal societies potentially possess social capital that can
provide unique economic development opportunities. This book
incorporates a regional perspective that widens the tourism
development debate to include theoretical analyses, applied
research, and case studies that document the broader successes and
challenges that affect tourism stakeholders and addresses the
necessary elements that facilitate a comprehensive tourism
development strategy in emerging and transitioning former communist
countries.
