Book Description:

Despite the fact that globalisation has led to increased cross-border activities, especially in terms of holiday, leisure and business trips, there has been little examination of how crossing political boundaries affects tourism and vice versa. Bringing together case studies from Europe, the US and Southern Africa, this book discusses current issues and policies, destination management and communication, and planning in cross-border areas. Topics studied include borders as tourist attractions and destinations in their own right, as barriers to travel and the growth of tourism, boundaries as links of transit and the growth of supranationalism. It concludes that the role of borders has changed dramatically in recent years. Places that were once forbidden to foreigners are now opening up and new destinations are becoming more commonplace. On the other hand, many more borders that have traditionally hosted large-scale tourism are becoming more difficult to cross, primarily because of safety and illegal immigration concerns.
