A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The dynamics of trust and distrust are central to understanding modern society, social relations and development processes. This book for the first time situates trust within the context of tourism development and planning. It theoretically explores the relationship by reviewing how diminishing societal trust may have adversely affected tourism planning systems, the role of trust in good tourism governance and sustainable tourism, how trust can be used as a facilitator of participatory tourism planning, political trust in tourism institutions, power and how tourism development can be a basis for trust creation among society members by using social capital theory.
