Produktbeschreibung

International Tourism reconceptualizes the local and the global, avoiding such crude oppositions as centre v periphery, modern v traditional and North v South, demonstrating that the local cannot be understood without the global, and that the global can never be isolated from the regional setting within which it operates.

Rezensionen

`This book is one of several indications that the sociology of tourism is on the move.... these articles raise relevant important themes in the study of tourism.... The contributors to this very readable book provide valuable insights, many of which have been derived from empirical research, that should interest anyone involved in the study of international tourism. And by moving us away from polarised positions over the social impact of tourism toward more complex but also more considered perspectives they have also helped alter the agenda for future research' - David Harrison, University of Sussex
