Reviews

The first edition of this book provided an invaluable contribution to the integration of the fields of tourism and development studies. The second edition furthers this legacy to provide an insightful updating of the challenges and opportunities for the use of tourism for economic and social advancement within shifting development paradigms and global change.

This volume offers a set of authoritative contributions steering through the vast array of tourism and development concepts and cases. This sound collection of critical pieces is a 'must read' not only for undergraduate and postgraduate students, but also for all those interested or involved in tourism and development.

Building on the successful first edition, chapters on such topics as poverty reduction, heritage, climate change and human rights have been added and the result is a well-structured debate within a clear conceptual framework. The ensuing discussion is appropriate, rigorous and comprehensive and demonstrates the global economic and social importance of tourism. This book is now a classic and should be required reading for anyone with a serious interest in international tourism's role in 'development.'

Craig Webster, Ball State University, USA:

This edited book makes a valuable contribution by exploring the important concepts and issues that are linked with the perception that tourism can be a vehicle for leading countries out of poverty. While edited volumes, in my opinion, are not usually the most readable or useful types of books, this edited volume is thorough and extensive, giving anyone who is interested in the issue of tourism and economic development issues a great deal to read through.
