Tourism Planning and Development in Latin America
Despite the significance of tourism to the economic, social and environmental structures of Central and South America, little has been documented in the English literature about tourism in this sub-region, which in terms of population size, ranks fourth in the world with 652 million inhabitants. The first of its kind, this book focuses exclusively on tourism development, planning and their impacts in a wide number of Central and South American countries. It covers experiences, challenges, successful and unsuccessful stories, specific cases, and other tourism related issues of twelve countries in total. Each chapter is authored by scholars who have done extensive research on tourism in the countries covered.
International Residential Mobilities
This book assesses the drivers and impacts of new international residential mobilities by considering a range of mobilities in different countries across the globe from investment, amenity and retirement mobilities to those of the new global middle class and the transnational elites. It examines the intersection of these mobilities with the increase in the volume of global tourism, the advent of the sharing economy and peer-to-peer platforms, and the effects of transnational property investment. The consequent transformations are considered in urban environments where tourism pressure coexists with gentrification, increasing house prices and processes of social and ethnic segregation. By offering a broad perspective based on different case studies, the book portrays the contradictory consequences of international residential mobilities both favouring local opportunities for development and disrupting housing markets through the disassociation from local demand. As a result this book is a great resource for academics and students in tourism, urban and migration studies as well as policy-makers and practitioners involved in urban planning, social affairs and tourism management.
Philosophical Issues in Tourism

Temas pendientes y nuevas oportunidades en Turismo y Cooperación al Desarrollo
La consideración del turismo como una vía y oportunidad para el desarrollo está cada vez más presente en las políticas socioeconómicas de los países. Algunos hechos que han contribuido a este aumento de protagonismo del turismo son entre otros el consenso alcanzado en reuniones internacionales sobre la capacidad de esta actividad para contribuir al desarrollo y más concretamente al alivio de la pobreza, como se recoge en los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio fijados por las Naciones Unidas. El sector del turismo es una línea estratégica que tiene grandes posibilidades para convertirse en líder de la cooperación turística internacional, pues es considerado una herramienta que, ...
