Presented by Sharpley (travel and tourism, U. of Northumbria, UK) and Telfer (recreation and leisure studies, Brock U., Canada), 12 chapters challenge the assumption that tourism is an effective agent of development in all cases. Linking tourism theory and development theory, the chapters examine the four development paradigms with a view towards establishing a framework for the development of appropriate and sustainable development. Particular chapters look at economic, regional, community, employment, sociocultural, and environmental issues. Finally, externalities that limit the growth of tourism and, hence, economic development potentials are discussed. Distributed in the US by UTP Distribution. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
