BOOK REVIEW: Tourism in the city, towards and integrative agenda on urban tourism
Journal Title: Journal of Tourism, Heritage & Services Marketing - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In sum, one of the merits of this book consists in discussing the European perspective and its tourism policies for the years to come. Although this segment exhibits a great interest for stagnant European economies, no less true is that the increasing climate of extreme competition among cities produces a sum-zero game which threatens the well-functioning of industry. In the next decades, the performance of tourism in cities will depend not only on the derived aftermaths over city-dwellers` culture, but in the success of governments in nuancing the collateral effects engendered by a hyper-competitive market. To avoid a problem of this caliber, new innovative policies and laws are necessary, in order for industry to regulate a more responsible tourism. Not only by the robustness and the credibility of study-case, each chapter hints but also by as the different positions which were well-orchestrated in the book, we strongly recommend Tourism in the City as a must-read project, which offers a fertile ground for scholars who are interested in urban tourism as well as policy makers historically-dedicated to buttress a more sustainable tourism for crowd-populated cities.
