SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book is concerned with the development of tourism public policy, and the strategic management of failure of the industry to realize its commercial potential. The particular salience of this research lies in the fact that it has been conducted during conceivably the most interesting (politically) and volatile (globally) period for the world's tourism industry. Increasing competition, economic, and environmental issues combined with the continued threat of terrorism, necessitated governments redefining their tourism public policies. How they approached this is reflected in the first part of the book, while the second part focuses on Scotland whose tourism public policy issues in the late nineties were focused, concentrated, and mutated by globalization, political devolution, and the restoration of the Scottish Parliament. It is also hoped that it will serve as a perspective of the impact of devolution of tourism in Scotland during the first four year period of the parliament while contributing further to the academic understanding of tourism public policy."--BOOK JACKET
