    • Students learn about tourism as a tool for economic and community development and the impacts it can have on a community's sense of identity, control, and wellbeing.
    • Ethnic, cultural, national, gender/sexual and regional identities are not simply marketed for tourists, but these various dimensions of tourees' identities can be reaffirmed or altered via tourism.
    • This book gives considerable analysis to the complex relationship between the two domains and indeed, the multifaceted strategies used to define that relationship.
