"Building on the insight that markets rest on politicalfoundations, this volume of highly perceptive studies asks howtourism has become increasingly prominent on the urban scene andhow this has affected urban dwellers, positively as well asnegatively. Fascinating, provocative, unexpected, never simplistic,this book gives us the state of the art on this timely subject."John Mollenkopf, Distinguished Professor of Political Science,CUNY Graduate Center "This book stands out in what is a rapidly growing literature ontourism by attempting a systematic empirical examination of majortrends and components of urban tourism. It moves from global trendsto the particular ways in which these become concrete economic,social, cultural conditions in specific cities. And it moves fromdetailed empirical analyses to broader interpretive framings ofwhat it all means." Saskia Sassen, editor of GlobalNetworks/Linked Cities "The book is coherent, the chapters are consistent and theintroduction and conclusion are well-written.....it will serve wellthe global economists who are interested in relationship betweenthe global trends and tourism dynamics at the local level."Journal of American Planning Association
