"Reflecting current trends in global tourism, this book bridges the gap between tourism policy and strategic planning and maintains a firm focus on the practical application of theory."

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.
