National tourism in developing countries: Preconditions, problems, possibilities

Abstract

The development of tourism in developing countries has hitherto been based almost exclusively on foreign visitor tourism (incoming tourism) with its promise of foreign exchange earnings. Possible negative social implications of this tourism have however led to voices being raised in the industrial countries as well, suggesting that the expansion of inland vacation tourism is not only of greater advantage in the long term from the point of view of social policy, but also in overall economic terms.
