Tourist industry development: At the crossroads

Abstract

During a relatively brief period of time, the tourist industry has grown to become an important component in the economies of many areas. Recent criticisms of the industry have created concern and confusion among officials. The purposes of this discussion are: 1) to review briefly the historical roots of current problems, and 2) to identify alternative courses of action open to affected areas.
