Summary, etc. ROUTLEDGE INTRODUCTIONS TO DEVELOPMENT Series editors: John Bale and David Drakakis-Smith<br/><br/>In this series of short books for introductory students, lively topical material by leading scholars is presented in an accessible and informative way. All of the main aspects of the development of the Third World are covered. Each book is highly illustrated with tables, diagrams, maps and photographs. Each chapter includes boxed case studies, key ideas, a list of discussion questions and further reading.<br/><br/>Tourism and Development in the Third World What's the truth behind those 'paradise beaches in the holiday brochures? For many a Third World country, international tourism is the mainstay of the economy. But in the mass tourist market one warm exotic destination is very much like another Political instability or an environmental disaster can destrov a cloudless reputation and divert the flow of visitors for years. Against this background, many of the smaller nations see tourism as a last resort rather than a development priority, allowing the industry to slip increasingly into foreign control. This book's up-to-date case studies illustrate the great diversity of problems facing the host communities. They range from management of tourist traffic in an African game park to the sex tours of Asia and the after-effects of the 1987 military coup in Fiji John Lea provides a critical appraisal of the extensive tourist literature and assesses the interplay of the diverse social, economic, and environmental impacts. His conclusions explore ways of managing tourism as a resource and evaluate its long term contribution towards national development.<br/>
