Abstract:
"This significant volume is the first to focus on both the changing nature of tourism and the capacity of tourism to effect change, especially in the Global South. Geographically, this changing nature of tourism is based on the transforming relationships between demand, supply and locations. While this is nothing new in tourism, recent decades have intensified the changing characteristics of global tourism. From another perspective, tourism represents a change, and nowadays many localities and regions aim to use tourism as tool for positive change i.e. development. However, this has turned out to be a challenging task in practice, especially in the Global South contexts where the relationship between tourism growth and local development has often been controversial. This book looks at a host of critical concepts in one volume such as: growth and development, adaptation and resilience, sustainability and responsibility, governance and planning, and heritage and destination management strategies. By understanding the drivers of change this book sheds new insight into the promise and role of sustainability and responsibility in tourism development. This will be of great interest to all upper-level students, academics and researchers in the fields of Tourism, Geography, and Cultural and Heritage studies"--
