Sommario/riassunto

The 1980's and 1990's have seen a proliferation of the term ''tourist'' destination. There is a shift from ''old'' to ''new'' tourism. These case histories examine these issues. The book is divided into three sections, dealing with political, economic and sociocultural reasons for change.
