Ebook: Tourism in Transition: Economic Change in Central Europe

Since 1989, Central and Eastern European economies have undergone a transition from highly centralized state socialism to market economies. This text analyzes the changing role of tourism throughout this process of transformation in Czechoslovakia and in the two independent Czech and Slovak Republics which emerged in 1993. Williams (Exeter) and Balaz (Bratislava) discuss the roles of interventionism, internationalization, and privatization in this segment of the economy. Distributed by Palgrave. Annotation c.
