Reviews / Votes
This well-written book strikes a right balance between theory and practice, using case studies from rural communities which the authors have thoroughly researched. The book is methodically structured, with a progressive stance, and following a political economy approach of rural tourism, the recurring theme being power relationships and the effects of globalisation on rural communities. * Antonis Petropoulos, ecoclub.com * This well written, illustrated, argued and structured book raises a wide range of pertinent questions concerning the relationships between rural tourism and wider processes of tourism development, rural development, community relationships, commodification, culture change, public policy, globalization and the actual processes of rural tourism research and practice. This work is a welcome addition to the existing literature. * Derek Hall, Maidens, Scotland, Tourism Recreation Research 35:3, 2010 *More details
