Tourism has been identified as one of the few potential growth
sectors in the mature economies. This volume provides a detailed
study of the industry and of its contribution to economic
development in Europe. This diverse region offers a wide range of
examples of the potential and limitations of tourism as a vehicle
for development, and of government policies for tourism. This, the
third edition of the title includes a new country case study
chapter on the Republic of Ireland. Together with the general
review chapters and the existing ten country case studies the book
provides a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of tourism in
Western Europe. A new chapter on Central and Eastern Europe
broadens the reach of the book. The cases studies are modelled on
similar formats and cover recent changes in domestic and foreign
tourism, seasonal and regional concentration, the national and
regional economic implications of tourism development, and tourism
policies. All the authors are specialists on the tourism industries
of the particular countries. They have access to the most recent
data available on each case study, and place the study of tourism
in the broader context of national developments. Contents
