This ethnographic study provides a holistic, multi-stakeholder view of the first twenty years of tourism development in a remote region of Eastern Indonesia. It examines how tourism is intertwined with life in a non-western, marginal community and analyses tourism and sociocultural change, conflict, globalisation, poverty and powerlessness.

Portrait

Stroma Cole

After studying social anthropology and extensive travel in Indonesia, Stroma Cole started her own tour operating business. For six years she led small groups all over the Indonesian archipelago. Following a period of consultancy with UNESCO and ADB she returned to the UK and took up her post at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College. Stroma continued to visit the remote Ngadha villages on the island of Flores to study the effects of tourism. She completed her PhD in 2003 and has published extensively. She continues to research tourism in Indonesia and other less economically developed countries. She is chair of Tourism Concern.

Pressestimmen

"I can attest that this book offers a valuable corrective to the macro-analyses that so dominate the tourism literature. Dr. Cole's micro-level longitudinal study is not only sensitively-written, but extremely astute. I can envision it will become a much used ethnography of tourism in courses on the anthropology of tourism, as well as in tourism management training sessions. Southeast Asianists will also find it of value as a course text for their classes. The beauty of the book is not only its intelligence, but its wonderful accessibility to general readers. Kathleen M. Adams, Ph.D., Professor of Anthropology, Loyola University Chicago"
