Tourism Development and Local Poverty: A Case Study of Qinling Mountain Region, Shaanxi Province, China

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The work focuses on local poor people. It identifies the correlation between tourism and poverty alleviation by tracing the cash flows to the local poor, reviews the social and environmental effects of tourism on the local area and establishes a community-based sustainable tourism-eliminating poverty strategy framework. One of most important findings is that local households do get benefits from tourism development but the poor people have the substantial disadvantages in sharing this benefit. The case study region in China is a typical representation of the combination and overlapping of the multiple needs for tourism development, poverty reduction and biodiversity conservation, which are faced by many other developing countries in the world, it is expected that the findings and recommendations can be applied to other regions in China, other developing countries, as well as disadvantage groups in some developed countries.

Tourism Public Policy, and the Strategic Management of Failure (Advances in Tourism Research)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionHardbound. This book is concerned with the development of tourism and tourism public policy, and the strategic management of failure of tourism to realize its commercial potential. The particular salience of this research lies in the factthat it has been conducted during conceivably the most interesting (politically) and volatile (globally) period for the world`s tourism industry. Increasing competition, economic, and environmental issues combined with the continued threat of terrorism, and instability in the middle-east, necessitated governments assessing and redefining their tourism public policies. How they approached this in the late nineties and new Millennium is reflected in the first part of the book. The second part focuses on Scotland whose tourism public policy issues in the late nineties were focused, concentrated, and mutated by globalization, political devolution, and the restoration of the Scottish Parliament in 1999.

Tourism Studies and the Social Sciences

Publisher: —
Description: Accusations have been made that tourism studies lacks a theoretical base. Such assertions are often based upon a lack of understanding of the relationship between the academic study of tourism and theories from the social sciences. Tourism Studies and the Social Sciences provides students with a wider understanding of and grounding in the theories of the social sciences that tourism studies have been built upon. Specifically it will examine how the disciplines of economics, politics, geography, sociology, psychology and anthropology have contributed to our understanding of tourism. Extensive cross-referencing between chapters highlights the multidisciplinary nature of much tourism research. The book concludes by describing how the fields of environmental studies, development studies, feminism and ethics that transcend the boundaries of social science disciplines can be applied to tourism.

Tourism and Dictatorship: Europe`s Peaceful Invasion of Franco`s Spain

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the three decades following the Second World War, the authoritarian and morally austere dictatorship of General Francisco Franco’s Spain became the playground for millions of carefree tourists from Europe’s prosperous democracies. This book chronicles how their presence not only helped to strengthen the Franco regime’s economic and political standing, but also contributed to undermining the dictatorship’s moral austerity and economic autarky. This study looks beneath exotic imagery of bulls and flamenco dancers, and sensationalized stories of Francoist police persecuting bikini-clad foreigners, to examine how the advent of foreign tourism profoundly influenced the regime’s diplomatic and economic policies as early as 1945. In the 1960s, mass tourism provoked important shifts in the national political dynamic, contributing significantly to the conditions in which Spain’s post-Franco democracy was born. [detailed...]
