Abstract

The purpose of this book is to examine the ways in which regional tourism destinations use change and innovation to access the economic, social and environmental benefits of tourism while minimising the potential negative impacts. The case studies that feature in this book provide research into the nature of change in regional tourism destinations and the structures and processes that may be employed to help destinations manage change.
