Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe case studies are a particularly important addition to the literature as they highlight how tourism development has simultaneously relieved existing poverty in northeastern Argentina while generating new challenges. The book is a careful and insightful analysis of these complex issues with important implications for other regions facing similar challenges. -- Terence Roehrig, United States Naval War College
Tourism in Northeastern Argentina makes an important contribution to scholarship on the effects of tourism in a world increasingly shaped by the forces of globalization. The authors effectively balance the provision of in-depth empirical information about the benefits and costs of tourism with a sophisticated consideration of the human rights issues at stake. -- Debra L. DeLaet, Drake University
This book details the challenges and opportunities associated with ecotourism globally, and as with other destinations promoting biological and cultural resources, the ‘sustainability’ rhetoric often doesn’t reflect practice. Both are compromised to the detriment of residents and their sense of place. -- John Cusick, University of Hawaii at Manoa
