Kennell, J: Tourism and Public Policy

Összefoglaló

This new text will critically examine tourism policy alongside the instrumental uses of tourism in other areas of public policy. The first part of the book introduces the notion of public policy for tourism and explores why it is necessary for the control of the industry, various approaches to tourism policy, distinction between policy and planning and the instruments employed to put policy into action. The second part looks at the relationship between tourism and other fields of public policy, analysing a specific form of tourism of relevance to each policy area. International case studies are integrated throughout to show policy in practice.
