Description: "This collection of essays is about tourism and social, political, and economic relations in coastal locations in various paris of the world. The starling point of each chapter is the ethnographic study of one particular place. However, the authors are also concerned with wider regional, national, and global forces which shape and influence the local economies and societies under review. Although most of the essays focus on the European coastline, the book is intended to have implications for other geographical areas."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: "This collection of essays has emerged from some of the presentations made during the workshop on "Aquatourism and multiple-use conflicts" held during the "People and the Sea" Conference marking the inauguration of the Centre for Maritime Research (MARE), in Amsterdam, September 2001."
