Recenzii

Finally, here is a way to move beyond old debates about authenticity in Tourism Studies, with a pragmatic, useful approach for analyzing "authentification" processes. Xie's models of stakeholders' interactions and the paradoxes encountered in ethnic tourism development have worldwide application for academics and stakeholders themselves.Margaret Swain, University of California, USAThe book is well-researched, conceptualized, and written in an approachable and thought-provoking style. Its central aim is to shift away from the discourse of authenticity to the processes of authenticating ethnic tourism. Xie achieves this goal by applying a strong conceptual framework to analyze and evaluate authentication by different stakeholders of ethnic tourism in a specific setting--the ethnic Li minority on Hainan Island, China.Maria Amoamo, University of Otago, New Zealand in Annals of Tourism Research, Vol. 38, No. 3, pp. 1197-1199, 2011
