The book offers a diverse commentary and discussion on the development and the business of tourism in the 21st century. This book is recommended for researchers, graduate students, and academicians studying international tourism. In comparison to other books on tourism development, Tourism Development Revisited offers a critical and challenging approach through the interesting and sometimes provocative views of authors who are experts of this complex phenomenon.
