Tóm tắt:This introductory chapter provides an historic context for the book’s central theme, which is the complex relationship between the Majority World, development, and tourism. The three key issues of wealth creation, growth, and redistribution provide the framework by which the ‘development’ theme was conceived, with advances into the most recent debates on tourism and its role in the wider sustainability agenda. Developmentis a highly ambiguous term which, put in a simple way, can refer to a ‘process through which a society moves from one condition to another’ (Sharpley, 2002:23). It is generally used to describe the dynamics resulting from processes of national economic and social transformation, ‘effectively a synonym for more or less planned social and economic change’ (Hobart, 1993:1)
