This text, stress authors Hannam (tourism development, U. of Sunderland, UK) and Diekmann (Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Tourisme, Territoires et Soci矇t矇s at the U. Libre de Bruxelles,
Belgium), is more about "tourism and India and not just tourism in India." In other words, they explore the topic from the position of the contemporary critical tourism studies literature,
cognizant of the ways tourism interacts with other contemporary social, cultural, economic, and environmental experiences; the underlying power relations in tourism production and consumption;
and the ways that these structures are sometimes transgressed and subverted in the Indian context. Chapters address how the historical and contemporary governance structures have shaped tourism
developments, cultural tourism, heritage tourism, nature-based tourism, international tourism flows into India, domestic tourism in India, and Indian outbound tourism. Annotation 穢2011 Book
