New Film: Weaving Tourism into Community: four stories over time (2010) - Who was involved?
- What was accomplished?
- How did they do it?
- What challenges do they still face?
A unique longitudinal case study of the four communities featured in the Community Tourism Development guide. University researchers returned to the four communities first profiled in 1991 to learn how these communities have dealt with tourism. In their own words, community leaders describe the changes, benefits and challenges their communities have experienced from tourism development over the years. These case studies stress five core values for tourism development: 1) maintaining authenticity and sense of place; 2) delivering quality service and products; 3) using tourism as a diversification strategy; 4) encouraging local control; and 5) assessing the true benefits and costs of tourism. DVD format / 65 minutes long and divided into segments on each community. Extension Store item # 08662 To View a sample or to order Price: $24.95 (+S&H)
