Recent years have witnessed a change from the passive, low key useof rural areas for recreation to the explosion of tourism as ahighly active and dominant agent of change and control in thecountryside and associated rural communities. This book considersthe effects of rural recreation and tourism with special referenceto:

* public sector rural policies

Contemporary reflections of each of these issues are broughttogether by Richard Butler, C. Michael Hall and John Jenkins fromexperts in Australasia, North America and Europe.
