Tourism in the Caribbean

Resumen del Libro

The travel and tourism industry is one of the world's largest industries and is a significant growth area in the developing countries of the Caribbean. The Bahamas, Costa Rica, Mexico, Barbados and Jamaica have become major players in the tourism industry. The growth rate while welcome in economic terms has also brought associated problems. Throughout the region tourism development has led to local discontent, rising land prices and environmental problems. It seems that to a large degree the traditional tourism development model pursued in many developing countries is flawed. Tourism has been treated as an end in itself, instead of a mechanism for development. This book persuasively argues that tourism development, like other forms of development, should be a process in which the interests of the local population are primary. The articles are written in English or Spanish and are accessible to a wide audience of students, policymakers, tourism and hospitality sectors.

Comprender la globalización

Globalización es una de las palabras utilizadas con mayor asiduidad por políticos, economistas, empresarios y líderes sindicales, sin que se conozca adecuadamente su significado, su alcance y los efectos que está produciendo. Además, se ha convertido en arma arrojadiza o cabeza de turco de todos los males que nos afectan, lo que ha provocado que casi todo el mundo tome partido, bien alineándose en el frente de la globafilia, bien en el de la globafobia. En esta nueva edición de Comprender la globalización, actualizada y muy ampliada, Guillermo de la Dehesa intenta explicar en qué...

Dibújalo!

This book presents drawing as an effective work tool, an innovative way of communicating that adapts to any environment. If you think I don't know how to draw, you are wrong: if you can write, you can draw; you just have to train your hand, your eye and, of course, the right side of the brain.

Do you know how many people have died in the world due to speaking in public? If you think the answer is 'none', you're wrong. William Henry Harrison, ninth president of the United States (1773-1841), died after giving his inaugural address. The incident occurred as follows—he delivered his speech on March 4 which was a chilly day, and he died a month later… of pneumonia. Nowadays nearly 90% of all professions require people to speak in public.
