Download or read book Pacific Rim Tourism written by Martin Oppermann and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, the Pacific Rim region has gained increased recognition as an economic and political entity. The term "Pacific Rim" is open to various interpretations, but in this book the definition is based on geographical and attitudinal (e.g. trade) arguments as including all countries and areas that border or are located within the Pacific Ocean. Thus all of East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands, as well as Australia and New Zealand and the western coast of the Americas are included. Within this region the tourism industry is rapidly expanding. This book has been developed from papers presented at a conference held in Rotorua, New Zealand, in November 1996. Six themes are addressed: tourism trends; cultural and social issues; ecotourism and sustainable development; Pacific islands; economic and planning issues; and the future. Written by authors from Australia, Canada, China, Europe, Fiji, Malaysia, New Zealand and the USA, the book represents an important volume for advanced students, research workers and practitioners in tourism and economic development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asia is regarded as the fastest growing area for international and domestic tourism in the world today and over the next 20 years. Given the economic, social and environmental importance of tourism in the region, there is a need for a comprehensive and readable overview of the critical debates and controversies in tourism in the region and the major factors that are affecting tourism development both now and in the foreseeable future. This Handbook provides a contemporary survey of the region and its continued growth and development as a key destination and generator of tourism, which is marked by a high proportion of intra-regional travel. The book is divided into five sections. This first section provides an introduction to the region and context to the nationally focused chapters. The next three sections are then broadly based on the three UNWTO Asian regions: South-East Asia, South and Central Asia, and East and North-East Asia, providing readers with a valuable snapshot of tourism at various scales, and from various approaches and positions. The concluding section considers future prospects for tourism in Asia. The handbook is interdisciplinary in coverage and is also international in scope through its authorship and content. It presents a range of perspectives and understanding of the processes and forces that are shaping tourism in this fascinating and dynamic region that is one of the focal points of global tourism. This is essential reading for students, researchers and academics interested in tourism in the growth region of Asia now and in the future.
