Tourism Planning: Basics, Concepts, Cases

As one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy since the 1950s, tourism has proved to be a complicated phenomenon, unlike any other economic producer. Over the last few decades, tourism has exerted increasing pressure on the land and negative social, environmental and economic impacts have surfaced as major issues. Positive guidelines for better planning are in demand by developers and designers who need new understandings of the breadth of tourism's complexity for their own success. Long considered the seminal work on tourism development, Tourism Planning provides a comprehensive, integrated overview of all aspects of tourism and the planning functions that accompany it, emphasizing concepts and principles for better planning.

Increased publicity about the negative impacts of tourism and recognition of its positive economic value have aroused concern over how tourism is to be developed. Current trends in tourism development are toward further damage to natural resources and increased planning confusion. This fresh and creative text on the tourist industry describes and challenges these present tourism development patterns. The scope of the book includes a systems functional model along with two innovative planning processes: continuous and strategic regional planning. The book emphasizes the foundations required for thriving tourism development. Designed primarily as a college text, Tourism Planning is equally useful to private, government agency and non-profit land developers. Researchers in tourism will find this book filled with challenges. It is of particular values to those in the field of professional planning and policy-making.

Crane, Russak

Completely rewritten and updated, the third edition of this volume integrates the idea of balancing tourism with protection of the resources upon which it depends. If sustainable development is to be achieved, every kind of tourism needs examination, special policies, and planning. What separates this book from its predecessors is its format. The chapters are split into two parts, allowing for greater examination of tourism planning basics (Part 1) and planning concepts and examples (Part 2). Many diverse issues are covered, including: the purpose of tourism planning, tourism sectors (business, nonprofit, governmental), goals for development; external factors (natural and cultural resources, finance, labour, governmental policies, etc.), components of supply (attraction, services, transportation, etc.), ecotourism, regional planning concepts and cases, destination planning concepts and cases, and site planning concepts and cases.
