Tourism and transition governance, transformation and development

The starting point and basic organizing framework for this volume is the oft understated, yet obvious truism, that international tourism is part of a much wider set of social, cultural, economic, political and environmental change agents, and should be viewed within this wider
context and not in isolation. As a corollary, it is consequently often difficult to distinguish the impacts of tourism from the influences of other dynamic processes, for such purposes as informing policy. The change agents within which tourism is often embedded are largely driven by the global expansion and rejuvenation of capitalism, a process that inherently
generates patterns of uneven development and inequality, which tourism may act to ameliorate or exacerbate. This may take place, for example, through the integration of destinations into dynamic domestic and global markets and networks of international capital.
