"With a user friendly learning structure and divided into ten chapters, Tourism Policy and Planning: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow examines issues such as tourism as an economic and commercial activity, political and foreign policy implications, sustainable tourism, education and training, and strategic planning. It is fully illustrated throughout with international case reports to provide a solid foundation for understanding not only what tourism policy is and the benefits of well-formulated tourism policy but also how to influence and implement it."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary
"The second edition of this highly-regarded text provides a fresh and stimulating introduction to tourism planning at global, regional and local levels. It stresses that planning is most effectively understood by conceptualising the wider context alongside examining the analysis and application of planning tools. Thematically underpinned by the need for sustainability, the author argues that tourism planning, policy, and development are best conducted by embracing the relational structure of governance as part of a more sophisticated and contextual approach."--BOOK JACKET.
