Erve Chambers is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Maryland. His previous books include Applied Anthropology: A Practical Guide and (coedited with Setha M. Low) Housing, Culture, and Design: A Comparative Perspective.

"This book is an interesting and exciting collection that promises to significantly advance the tourism research field. Chambers has provided us with a collection of essays that focus on social adaptation and response to tourism. Thoughtful, critical essays on the meaning of the tourism experience from the native's point of view are rare and Chambers has, through his selection of pieces, suggested the incredible complexity of the tourism experience." — Barbara Rose Johnston, Center for Political Ecology, Santa Cruz
