Tourism, Empowerment and Sustainable Development: A New Framework for Analysis

For over twenty years, tourism researchers have examined how to determine whether destination communities are being empowered through tourism: there is much we can learn through analysis of that work. We outline and critique the most commonly used empowerment framework in this field as was first pub...
