This book aims to address this deficit and develop a global perspective on the management issues facing coastal resorts. By drawing on examples, it incorporates a detailed analysis of a range of economic, socio-cultural, political and environmental issues which are being experienced, to differing extents, by coastal tourism resorts which are at different life-cycle stages of development. The major management themes highlighted include the processes of restructuring, attempts to develop sustainable agendas and environmental issues of developing resorts in sensitive areas. Written by key experts, this book provides a critical assessment of the key management issues facing coastal tourism resorts globally. In doing so, it represents more than a mere amalgamation of existing literature as it aims to advance conceptual understanding of resort evolution and change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne might have thought that there was little new to be written about a topic as old as coastal resort management, but this volume succeeds admirably in adding some challenging and informative material to the existing body of literature. It ranges widely in settings examined and provides invaluable analysis rather than description which has tended to be the pattern in the past. This book has a great deal to recommend it, not only the wide range of examples covered but perhaps even more the analytical approach, along with the fact that the chapters are well integrated by means of good introductory and concluding essays placing them in context. A very valuable addition to the coastal resort management literature, covering a good number of well integrated examples from varied settings, bringing a contemporary outlook and approach to the material.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Richard Butler, Professor of International Tourism, University of Strathclyde, UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA timely critique from established, acknowledged experts, this text draws together (in a cogent, accessible and rewardingly worthwhile manner) a carefully selected range of contemporary empirical material. With its international perspectives and theoretical dimension, sensibly, the text locates the coastal resort in the global context and, as such, makes a welcomed and valued contribution to our understanding of the phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Brian Wheeller, Visiting Professor of Tourism, NHTV, Breda University of Applied Science, The Netherlands\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface and Acknowledgements \u003cbr\u003e  Book Contributors \u003cbr\u003e  1 Introduction: The Development and Management of Coastal Resorts: A Global Perspective - Gareth Shaw and Sheela Agarwal \u003cbr\u003e  Section 1: Coastal Resorts in Transition \u003cbr\u003e  2 The Problems and Dilemmas of Northern European Post-Mature Coastal Tourism Resorts - Tim Gale \u003cbr\u003e  3 The Resort Economy: Changing Structures and Management Issues in British Resorts - Gareth Shaw and Tim Coles \u003cbr\u003e  4 Institutional Change and Resort Capacity: The Case of Southwest English Coastal Resorts - Sheela Agarwal \u003cbr\u003e  Section 2: The Diversification and Sustainable Development of Coastal Resorts \u003cbr\u003e  5 Complexity, Interdisciplinarity and Growth Management: The Case of Maltese Coastal Resorts - Bill Bramwell \u003cbr\u003e  6 Planning for Sustainable Development in Spanish Coastal Resorts - Gerda Priestley and Joan Carles Llurdés \u003cbr\u003e  7 A Tale of Two Islands: Sustainable Resort Development in Cyprus and Tenerife - Richard Sharpley \u003cbr\u003e  Section 3: The Pleasure-Periphery and Managing the Post-Modern Coastal Resort \u003cbr\u003e  8 The Post-modern Resort and the Pleasure Periphery: The Case of Australia’s Coastal Tourism Resorts - Brian King \u003cbr\u003e  9 Malaysia’s Pleasure Periphery: Coastal Resort Development and its Consequences - Joan Henderson \u003cbr\u003e  10 Natural Heritage as Place Identity: Tofino, Canada, a Coastal Resort on the Periphery - Alison M.
