Reviews
'At a time when the need for effective planning and management of tourism is becoming ever more acute, this new edition explores critically the contemporary consequences of tourism development and means of addressing them. Comprehensive, easy to read, yet thought-provoking, with up-to-date case studies, detailed practical examples and challenging student exercises, it is essential reading for students of tourism and related subjects.' Richard Sharpley, Professor of Tourism & Development, University of Central Lancashire 'This book offers readers a strong understanding of tourism impacts, planning and management in an accessible manner. What makes it stand out is its willingness to look at some of the lesser-explored, but important, dark corners of tourism. In particular, the examination of sex, including child sex, tourism is to be applauded. The examination of overtourism in the book is also extremely timely.' Professor Neil Carr, University of Otago, New Zealand
This book brings together the three key elements of tourism development - impacts, planning and management. In an easy-to-read style the book presents students with key learning objectives and activities supplemented with a range of international case studies. It should be an essential text for students in a range of tourism related subjects as its core strength is its practical application of many aspects of tourism including education, regulation, information technology and sustainability. - Professor Ross Dowling OAM, Edith Cowan University, Australia This new edition provides an intriguing and critical insight into the interaction between tourism impacts and the techniques for their planning and management. The richness of international case study material and the thoughtful student learning exercises makes this text an invaluable student resource. - Andrew Holden, Professor of Environment and Tourism, University of Bedfordshire
