The Native Tourist
Mass Tourism within Developing Countries
Edited by Krishna B Ghimire
 The first book to examine a major new factor in tourism -- the rapid growth of tourism within developing countries and regions. Analyses the nature, magnitude and impact in different contexts and countries. Covers Asia, Africa and Latin America. Vital subject for development, economics and social
policy. Published with the UN Research Institute for Social Development.
Domestic tourism in developing countries is rapidly outstripping international tourism and could soon involve 10 times the numbers. Despite the rapid
growth, it has not been studied. This is the first book to examine the numbers involved, their profile, behavior, impacts and the relevant policy
responses. The volume looks at the impacts of local mass tourism in various socioeconomic and environmental contexts and on diverse social groups. It
provides analysis and overviews of seven of the main countries involved in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Krishna B Ghimire is Senior Researcher at UNRISD, with special interests in land reform and tourism development.

about the impacts of their visits.
