Tourism Development After the Crises
HauptbeschreibungGlobal imbalances and crises which occurred more frequently and at shorter intervals made international tourism demand more volatile. This book, edited by Peter Keller and Thomas Bieger, provides a unique analysis of the recent financial crisis on world tourism and particularly the development models which contribute to reduce poverty. The volume is based on the knowledge of a network of more than 300 researches and includes experiences from Europe, Africa and Asia. It focuses on the latest economic crises as a framework for analyses and as a real life case study.
