What is Creative Tourism? How is it different from other types of tourism, and how do you go about developing it?  What are the latest innovations in cultural planning in creative cities around the world?

You'll find answers to these questions and more in this book, which is baed on and draws from the proceedings of the 2008 Santa Fe, New Mexico & UNESCO International Conference on Creative Tourism.  This collection of essays bridges theory and practice, offering the wisdom and experience of 23 authors on tourism, and community and economic development.

Topics include:  "Experiencing Imagination: Travel as a Creative Trigger" by noted author Charles Landry; "Discovering the Deeper Meaning of Tourism" by Alex Pattakos, PhD; "Yester-morrow: Using a Region's Heritage and Culture for its Economic Future" by Becky Anderson; and "Creative Tourism and Local Development" by Greg Richards.
