Description / Table of Contents:
Global imbalances and crises which occurred more frequently and at shorter intervals made international tourism demand more volatile. This book, edited by Peter Keller and Thomas Bieger, provides a unique analysis of the recent financial crisis on world tourism and particularly the development models which contribute to reduce poverty. The volume is based on the knowledge of a network of more than 300 researches and includes experiences from Europe, Africa and Asia. It focuses on the latest economic crises as a framework for analyses and as a real life case study. Reihe International Tourism Research and Concepts - Band 05.
