How do locals respond and who benefits? What impact do tourists have on the environments and people they visit? What do tourists gain from their travel and exposure to other cultures and what are their responsibilities? Stimulating and comprehensive, Tourists and Tourism is a valuable examination of a major social and economic phenomenon. This new collection provides an authoritative and lively introduction to global tourism. Twenty-seven essays, by a wide array of North American and international scholars, have been selected to achieve a balance between theory and recent case studies from different parts of the world. In addition, contributors represent a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, history, geography, folklore, and journalism, offering fresh, eclectic perspectives. The volume is enriched by photographs. Appendices provide a list of recommended films and examples of behavioral guidelines for tourists. 508610 9 2004 Tourists and Tourism: A Reader total:4|5:1|4:1|3:2| 4 15 10 0 3 0 false false Wed Aug 12 08:31:37 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 08:31:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 19 04:17:51 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 04:17:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 09 14:20:41 -0700 2009 Sat May 09 14:20:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 28 07:10:54 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 07:10:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 26 12:23:10 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 12:23:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 12 10:53:46 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 12 10:53:46 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Feb 11 17:36:50 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 17:36:55 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Apr 14 18:50:54 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 14 18:51:05 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Nov 25 08:14:27 -0800 2007 Sun Nov 25 08:14:35 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Wed Aug 22 18:09:50 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 22 18:09:50 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=520705
