Tourism Destinations and Policies in Europe During the 20th Century

This book analyzes key aspects of European tourism development in the 20th century, focusing on the development of tourist destinations, as well as tourism policies that were created to shape these destinations. The book also examines the private sector, which has traditionally played a determining role in European tourism development. While doing so, this volume presents case studies of Western European and Eastern European countries, such as Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain and Yugoslavia.

This book will appeal to students, researchers, and scholars of economics and business in general, and economic history and tourism studies in particular, interested in a better understanding of the development of tourism destinations and tourism policies in Europe during the 20th century.
