  An examination of key aspects of tourism policy in developed countries. Tourism is of considerable economic importance with implications for employment, transportation, and regional development policy. In addition, it can generate significant side effects; some positive, such as putting a location on the map , and some negative, such as congestion, overcrowding and environmental damage. Contributors to this volume provide data and analysis which informs current policy choices and evaluates policy choices already made. Coverage includes the nature of policy making and broad policy directions in Europe for the 1990s.
