Book excerpt: Annotation. As a result of the ongoing growth in the tourism industry, many destinations around the world are undergoing transformations. New destinations are being 'discovered' in regions previously ignored, as people search for regions that are yet unspoiled by the ravages of mass tourism. At the same time, traditional destinations are experiencing rapid environmental, socio-cultural and economic modifications. These changes have the most effect on the destination community - the location where tourists spend their time and money, and influence development or degradation of the local environment.Tourism in Destination Communities describes both the positive and negative effects of tourism on the destination community. The chapters are divided into three sections which address the relationship between tourism and the destination community, the various impacts of tourism on the destination community and the challenges and opportunities for destination communities. Each chapter contains brief case studies and empirical examples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is impossible to overstate how much of an impact tourism has on the economic landscape of cities and towns in this day and age, when it is one of the most lucrative sectors on the planet. The documentary "Transforming Towns: Tourism's Positive Economic Impact" investigates the complex web of tourism economics and digs deeply into the ways in which this dynamic industry may bring about an economic revival in tiny towns. This book acts as a guidepost, shedding light on the steps that need to be taken to achieve holistic growth, sustainability, and prosperity. However, the financial issues aren't the only thing that are covered in this book. It emphasizes the significance of maintaining and promoting local culture and heritage in order to guarantee that the expansion of tourism is in accordance with the principles and character of the local community. It does this by fostering participation from the local population in cultural tourism, which in turn creates a connection between history and modern-day progress. The word "sustainable" has become ubiquitous in the modern tourism industry, and for good reason. This book emphasizes the necessity of environmentally responsible tourism practices in attaining sustained economic expansion over the long term. It does this by advocating for laws that strike a balance between the protection of the environment and economic growth. These policies safeguard the very attractions that bring in tourists. Technology is playing an increasingly important part in the travel and tourism industry in this age of digitalization. The book "Transforming Towns" provides a road map for municipalities that are looking to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the digital revolution. It covers the role that digital platforms, big data, and innovative technology play in the promotion of tourism. Another primary concentration is placed on the partnership between the public sector and the commercial sector. This book examines the policy frameworks that can stimulate private investment in tourism while guaranteeing effective governance and regulation. Public-private partnerships can be a major force in driving tourist growth, and the book also discusses how these partnerships might drive tourism development. This book does not merely offer theoretical insights; rather, it provides answers that may be put into practice. Case studies of municipalities that have effectively transformed themselves through the introduction of tourism serve as examples from the real world, indicating the potential for replication in municipalities with comparable characteristics. However, the road to economic transformation is not without of obstacles, and the documentary "Transforming Towns" tackles these problems head-on. It addresses issues such as overtourism, environmental problems, and the delicate balance that must be maintained between economic expansion and the preservation of cultural traditions. This book presents a picture of the potential that exists in the world as we go forward into the future. It encourages additional research as well as innovation, as well as provides forecasts for the future of the tourism industry and makes policy suggestions for inclusive and environmentally responsible growth.

Download or read book Tourism and Local Economic Development written by Harold Goodwin and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism is claimed to represent 9% of global GDP so how can the positive economic impact of tourism be increased at the local level, whilst minimising negative impacts? Tourism and Local Economic Development is a groundbreaking text that critically addresses the theories which seek to explain the contribution which tourism can make to economic development, and then moves on to look at a wide range of initiatives and approaches to identify how the local economic benefits of tourism can be maximised. * How can tourism be harnessed to create thriving destinations and to improve the livelihoods of the communities who live with tourism? * How can we intervene to increase the contribution which tourism makes to creating better places for people to live in? * How can tourism be used to benefit the people who live in the destinations we visit? It discusses potential mechanisms: procurement and the supply chain for tourism businesses, employment, direct sales to tourists and pro-poor tourism and reviews some of the issues, such as all inclusives, second home ownership, disintermediation, tax, regulation and certification and slum tourism. The concluding part focuses on practice: how to structure an intervention to increase local economic benefit and to report impacts. Essential reading for all students of tourism and practitioners wishing to use tourism more effectively to create local economic development and improve livelihoods.
