Recenzii

'Brian King's book is a refreshing, original contribution to the literature...The study provides unparalleled insights and food for thought.' - Dr Dimitrious Buhalis, Tourism Issue 100, Spring 1999

'The text is, perhaps, of most value to researchers and educators as it is a useful resource for extending their knowledge of current issues from a new perspective. Additionally, it provides a benchmark for researchers to pursue similarly rigorous methodologies and focus upon succinct and importsnt issues such as the sustainable development of tourism, both now and in the future.' - Asia Pacific Business Review, Vol 4, No.4, 98

'This wide-ranging study of how two island resorts, the Whitsunday islands of Australia and the Mamanucas islands of Figi, have been created and recreated is a valuable addition to the burgeoning literature on tourism.' - Erlet Cater, Service Industries Journal

'This piece of work has much to recommend it in terms of an incisive analysis of marketing constraints, opportunities and outcomes.' - Erlet Cater, Sevice Industries Journal

'This text, meticulous in form is interesting, exciting and challenging to interdisciplinary readers and researchers, sociologists, anthrologists, destination planners, environmentalists and marketing specialists.' - International Journal of Tourism Research, Dimitrios Buhalis
