Description
The growth of tourism as a social phenomenon and the tourist industry as an economic enterprise has been dramatic over the last half of the 20th century. Tourism has become a major economic force, altering home patterns, living standards and income distribution. The expansion of tourism activities has coincided with significant cultural, political and environmental changes brought about by technological advancement. This study attempts to capture the interdisciplinary and theoretical questions put forward by alternative forms of tourism. It not only considers theoretical implications, but also examines case studies to form a proposed agenda for future research.
