This review is from: Community Development Through Tourism (Landlinks Press) (Paperback)
[...]Author Sue Beeton leads readers through the labyrinth of linguistics and provides clear definitions and natural world examples. As much of tourism development does not flow smoothly, Beeton sees her book as a guide for community leaders, tourism operators and officials who wish develop a positive rural tourism industry. Beeton writes: "Understanding the capabilities of tourism so that the correct decisions can be made in terms of community development is what this book is about." Chapters highlight an array of topics, including community-inclusive tourism strategies, the marketing of community tourism and dealing with crisis. Research-based case studies illustrate how things work in the natural world. Examples come primarily from English-speaking countries -- Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States. Beeton, an associate professor at La Trobe University, has extensive experience working with communities developing tourism and has written widely on sustainable tourism, film-induced tourism and national park management. She participated in Planeta's 2002 Communities and Tourism e-conference.
