Tourism Governance takes a systematic approach to reveal the varying
internal and external dynamics that influence tourism policy and
strategy across countries. With particular attention to the role of
stakeholders and governmental scales, the book offers a broad geographic
representation, highlighting the diversity of governance relationships
towards tourism in Colombia, Egypt, Finland, France, India, Italy,
Lebanon, Mexico, Oman, Poland, Portugal, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, and
United States. Two additional chapters push beyond borders to examine
tourism driven nongovernmental organizations and international tourism
governance. As the first and only comprehensive comparative analysis of
tourism across governmental systems, Tourism Governance promises to be
a platform for inspiring critical discourse on the forces that shape
this global industry.
