How can users and owners be sure they enjoy the promises of tantalizing marketing and real estate claims?

By taking an holistic and contemporary approach to the problem of developing sustainable tourism operations, this book provides a comprehensive assessment of the strategies that need to be considered by various governments, developers and, in particular, the customer-investor.
