| Abstract
|
:
|
This book discusses the responsibility of tourism activities in Latin America and the Caribbean. It considers issues such as the reduction of poverty through tourism and the conflict between increasing volumes of air travel spent in our continuing search for pleasure and the resulting contribution to global warming. Two major themes run through the chapters are power and development. The relationship between tourism, responsibility, power and development is explored covering both the macro level of responsibility (international politics and tourism) and the micro level of responsibility (local politics, poverty and tourism).--[back cover].
