description The aims of this book are to contribute to the understanding of best practices in tourist destination governance and to benchmark and advance ways of theoriz- ing on these practices. Tourism is recognized as a complicated, multi-sector activ- ity with numerous stakeholders and with diverse and often divergent goals and objectives. Achieving cooperation, collaboration and integration among the gov- ernment organizations involved in the various aspects of tourism and between government and private sector enterprises, as well as between tourism policies and community interests, are major concerns for policy makers, managers, com- munity members and academics.
