Synopsis
The growth of tourism, with its prospect of economic development and its threat of environmental, cultural and social problems, may be a mixed blessing for third-world countries, but there is little doubt that it will form a significant component of their future economies. This book brings together a group of specialist writers to provide a unique analysis of the costs and benefits of tourism in a range of large and small nations, with particular reference to social issues, such as the challenge to traditional values, and the emerging role of the Japanese in third-world tourism.
