Beskrivning

Despite the significance of tourism to the economic, social and environmental structures of Latin America, little has been documented in the English-language literature about tourism in this region. Filling that void, this book focuses exclusively on tourism development and planning, and the impact this has on a wide number of Latin American countries. It covers experiences, challenges, successful and unsuccessful stories, specific cases, and other tourism-related issues, with respect to 10 countries in total. Each chapter is authored by scholars who have done extensive research on tourism in the countries covered. This book: Examines the impact of tourism development and planning within Latin American countries. Takes a multidisciplinary approach including Anthropology, Development, Economics, Ecology, Policy, Sociology and Tourism Planning and Management. Is the first book in English to offer an insight into extensive research undertaken within the region. This book will provide a valuable insight for tourism researchers, practitioners and decision-makers in private and public organisations, not only from the regions of Central, South and North America, but also individuals from other parts of the world who want a more encompassing view of global tourism.
