Book Review - Tourism And Development In The Developing World

Abstract

The central aim of the book is to present an introductory text that explores the relationship between tourism and development in the developing countries against the background that tourism is widely regarded as an effective contributor to socio-economic development in these countries. It is well-known that the relationship between tourism and development is a debatable issue. Starting with this dictum, the book provides an introduction to the tourism-development process. Focusing mostly on developing countries and drawing on contemporary case studies, the authors of the book have raised many questions about the role tourism in development and highlight the dilemmas faced by destinations seeking to achieve development through tourism.
