Description: "Tourism and Postcolonialism draws together theoretical and applied research in order to illuminate the links between tourism, colonialism and postcolonialism. Significantly, the book aims to create a space for the voices of authors from postcolonial countries. Chapters are integrated and examined through concepts drawn from the wide postcolonial literature, and identify tourism not only as a postcolonial cultural form, but as an international industry which is based on past and present-day colonial structural relationships."--Jacket.
