Description

Reviews / Votes
"The book emphasizes establishing policies and management plans to identify and reduce negative impacts created by tourism facilities and services. It also looks at how to create public-private sector partnerships and collaborative activities with broad stakeholder support to optimize the positive contributions of the tourism-related economy." - Don Hawkins, Eisenhower Professor of Tourism Policy, School of Business, George Washington University"Using a wide array of in-depth case studies, this comprehensive and expanded edition is the definitive volume for students and tourism professionals seeking to expand their knowledge and understanding about the world's largest industry---tourism. Those officials making and affecting tourism policy would be well advised and wise to familiarize themselves with Edgell's and Swanson's unique insights into the arena of expanding international tourism and the issues that confront it." - Fredrick M. Bush, former US Ambassador and Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Tourism
