Yet questions should be raised, Patricia Goldstone argues in this book on the social and political impacts of tourism. She examines for the first time the close connections between business and politics as government and industry leaders work together to reengineer political trouble spots into tourist destinations in places like Ireland, Turkey, and Cuba. She also probes the impact of tourism on diverse cultures."--Jacket Tourism. Turismo 11738 Tourism Social aspects.
