Creating Island Resorts

by Brian King

Creating Island Resorts uses two comparative case studies to highlight the differences and challenges facing tourism today in the developing and developed worlds. Going beyond the more commonly enountered marketing analyses of resort destinations, King examines social, cultural, environmental, organizational and political dimensions of tourism. While describing the uniqueness of tropical island resorts such as Fiji, the areas they occupy, the people who live and work there, and the tourists who visit them, King integrates discussion of the social, cultural, mythical, environmental, and political dimensions as well. Creating Island Resorts is the second title in the Routledge Advances in Tourism series.
