Description
Rural Tourism Development: Localism and Cultural Change in Canada explores how tourism has been used as a response to economic and social shifts in a rapidly changing nation. This collection of cases examines different approaches to rural tourism development, highlighting the complex relationships between local communities, government policies, and global transformations. The book focuses on the Canadian context, where tourism has played a significant role in shaping rural spaces and leisure behaviour. By examining various case studies, the authors shed light on the challenges and opportunities facing rural areas as they adapt to changing consumption patterns and transportation networks. Through its analysis of local responses to economic and social change, Rural Tourism Development offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of rural tourism development.
