Despite the significance of tourism to the economic, social and environmental structures of Latin America, little has been documented in the English-language literature about tourism in this region.
Filling that void, this book focuses exclusively on tourism development and planning, and the impact this has on a wide number of Latin American countries. It covers experiences, challenges, successful and unsuccessful stories, specific cases, and other tourism-related issues, with respect to 10 countries in total. Each chapter is authored by scholars who have done extensive research on tourism in the countries covered.
This book: Examines the impact of tourism development and planning within Latin American countries. Takes a multidisciplinary approach including Anthropology, Development, Economics, Ecology, Policy, Sociology and Tourism Planning and Management. Is the first book in English to offer an insight into extensive research undertaken within the region.
This book will provide a valuable insight for tourism researchers, practitioners and decision-makers in private and public organisations, not only from the regions of Central, South and North America, but also individuals from other parts of the world who want a more encompassing view of global tourism.

For the past several decades, politicians and economists thought that high levels of inequality were good for the economy. But because America’s middle class is now so weak, the US economy suffers from the kinds of problems that plague less-developed countries. As <I>Hollowed Out</I> explains, to have strong, sustainable growth, the economy needs to work for everyone and expand from the middle out. This new thinking has the potential to supplant trickle-down economics—the theory that was so wrong about inequality and our economy—and shape economic policymaking for generations.

From the time of Booker T. Washington to today, and William Julius Wilson, the advice dispensed to young black men has invariably been, «Get a trade.» Deirdre Royster has put this folk wisdom to an empirical test—and, in Race and the Invisible Hand, exposes the subtleties and discrepancies of a workplace that favors the white job-seeker over the black. At the heart of this study is the question: Is there something about young black men that makes them less desirable as workers than their white peers? And if not, then why do black men trail white men in earnings and employment rates? Royster seeks an answer in the experiences of 25 black and 25 white men who graduated from the same vocational school and sought jobs in the same blue-collar labor market in the early 1990s. After seriously examining the educational performances, work ethics, and values of the black men for unique deficiencies, her study reveals the greatest difference between young black and white men—access to the kinds of contacts that really help in the job search and entry process.

For all business students worldwide, there can be two different ways to approach the business industry. The first is through targeted national business which is conducted inside the country you reside in, and the second is the international aspect of business. In order to succeed in either one, making sure you learn the language used to express yourself to other business men will separate you from other less qualified candidates that could have been sought for hire until you came along and over impressed your competitor. Being well prepared is the best form of education and learning if you want to advance in the ranks of your career.

This concise overview of the labor movement in the United States focuses on why American workers have failed to develop the powerful unions that exist in other industrialized countries. Packed with valuable analysis and information, <I>Hard Work </I>explores historical perspectives, examines social and political policies, and brings us inside today's unions, providing an excellent introduction to labor in America. <br /><br /><I>Hard Work </I>begins with a comparison of the very different conditions that prevail for labor in the United States and in Europe. What emerges is a picture of an American labor movement forced to operate on terrain shaped by powerful corporations, a weak state, and an inhospitable judicial system. What also emerges is a picture of an American worker that has virtually disappeared from the American social imagination. Recently, however, the authors find that a new kind of unionism—one that more closely resembles a social movement—has begun to develop from the shell of the old labor movement. Looking at the cities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas they point to new practices that are being developed by innovative unions to fight corporate domination, practices that may well signal a revival of unionism and the emergence of a new social imagination in the United States.
