Tourism Community Relationships Hardback
by P.L. Pearce, G.M. Moscardo, G.F. Ross
Edited by Jafar Jafari
Part of the Tourism Social Science Series series
Hardback
Description
The study of tourism is, arguably, ready for a thorough theoretical yet empirical analysis of the relationship between tourism and host communities.
Pearce, Moscardo and Ross deal with the impacts tourism is having on communities internationally, going beyond a mere review of such impacts to investigate the origins, development and manifestations of community attitudes.
A theoretical perspective is developed on how communities come to understand tourism and react to it.
In terms of its disciplinary approaches the book combines social-psychological, sociological, economic and media analyses and can properly be termed a study within the new specialism of tourism.
A number of yet-to-be-published studies of tourism and communities are reported on, and some large scale existing works on tourism and community reaction are reviewed and revisited.
