Tourism in Transition

the long version

"Major changes have occurred in the tourism industries in Central Europe, changes which have implications not just for the countries involved but for the tourism industries in Europe as a whole. To date, however, there has been no substantial study of the causes, mechanisms, and implications of these changes. _Tourism in Transition_ is the first book to provide a detailed analysis of the role of tourism in the economic transition which has swept central and eastern Europe since 1989. The work on privatisation in particular is highly innovative and will be of interest to a wider community of social scientists beyond tourism specialists."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
