Review

"Tourism research, it appears, is wallowing helplessly in a morass of types, definitions, and theoretical positions that frequently conflict and, when considered together, invariably confuse. Although Volunteer Tourism contributes in many ways to tourism studies, its attempt at conceptual clarification may well stand as its greatest gift to this field. ... [A]lternative tourism, particularly the volunteer kind, is hardly the norm in today's tourism industry ... Nevertheless, Wearing recommends that tourist operators ensure local participation in tourism developments and do so by building on such resources as community skill, knowledge, and culture. To the extent this is done, alternative forms of tourism can exist independently of mass tourism as well as become a vehicle with which tourist communities can effect greater control over their own destinies."--Robert A. Stebbins, FRSC, University of Calgary, Canada
