"""This fertile, innovative text is a new interpretation of the transformative impact that tourism has on place and that place has on tourism. It is a re-imagination of place through art and science, and therefore, should be essential reading for anyone interested in seeing how this interdisciplinary concept has been pushed into new touristic frontiers."" -David A. Fennell, Professor, Dept of Geography & Tourism Studies, Brock University, Canada. ""Tourism Interventions: Making or Breaking Places goes beyond simply exposing the benefits and costs of tourism growth and development by documenting some of the ways in which interventions by any of the tourism’s key stakeholders enhance the positive impacts while alleviating its negative ones on destinations. Broadly understood as a policy, a strategy, action, event, business idea, collaboration, or partnership, interventions are not always successful, and these rarely discussed failures are also captured through case studies."" -Marion Joppe, Distinguished Professor Emerita, School of Hospitality, Food and Tourism Management, University of Guelph, Canada."
