Opis

An introduction to tourism in South and South East Asia. It is aimed at students and practitioners in South and South East Asia as well as those in other institutions wishing to learn about this dynamic tourism region. There are contributions and case studies from around the region, and the work deals comprehensively with the implications of the Asian economic crisis for tourism. Despite downturns in tourism, inbound tourism from outside the region has continued to increase with governments placing more emphasis on the economic significance of tourism than ever.
