"This book is a thorough overview of the key components, functions and actions that shape the physical appearance, operations, market appeal and ultimate success of a tourist destination. The book examines these issues with a specific emphasis on future sustainability in its broadest sense, in a rapidly changing world where the future will be redefined in ways that are not yet obvious but which must be speculated on and planned for."--Jacket.
