Description
| Summary: | "Making the first substantial empirical contribution to the understanding of tourism as a development mechanism in poor regions and countries, this book takes an in-depth look at the successes and paradoxes of tourism in these roles and considers why tourism as a catalyst for economic development can be a controversial device. Chapters cover topics such as global and local conflicts in tourism, economic exploitation of the exotic, gender equality and participation as well as tourism and development methodologies. Offering a wide perspective on theoretical frameworks and using international case studies, this book will be relevant to both tourism practitioners and academics."--Jacket
