Summary: This book examines key aspects of tourism policy in developed countries. It demonstrates the role of research, both by providing data that inform policy choices and by evaluating policy choices already made. Coverage includes the nature of policy making and broad policy directions in Europe for the 1990s. An up-to-date analysis is provided for academic researchers within economics, geography, business studies and tourism studies. The book will also appeal to policy-makers in central and local government as well as to tourist boards and tourism analysts within the industry and the financial sector. (Font: Editor)
