Reviews

“Combining community case studies and conceptual discussions, this volume presents a uniquely wide ranging set of interpretations of the highly relevant issues of safety and security in tourism. In an unstable world, this volume contributes significantly to our understanding of dealing with uncertainty in tourism, a problem of increasing concern and importance that needs exactly this sort of examination.” -Professor Richard Butler, Emeritus Professor. “This valuable book addresses several critical factors for destination success – safety, security, and resilience. A rich explanation of these factors is provided through many fascinating case studies drawn from throughout the world. The emphasis is on solutions based on community initiatives, which is a refreshing approach not found in many texts. Undoubtedly, this is an essential read for students of tourism development and all others with an interest in tourism and community well-being.” -Alastair M. Morrison, Ph.D., Research Professor, School of Management and Marketing, University of Greenwich, London, Vice-President, International Tourism Studies Association (ITSA), Co-Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Tourism Cities (IJTC), CEO, Belle Tourism International Consulting (China).
