Abstract

For the first — and possibly the last — time, the Commonwealth Institute (still under threat of closure) hosted a one-day tourism symposium on 22 March 1994 with the theme: Tourism Hosts and Guests - Partners in Development? It brought together representatives from so-called developing countries, the UK tourism industry and other concerned parties, and students and academics. The complexity of the issues involved and the question mark over the term ‘development’ gave ample scope for approaching the symposium's theme from a variety of angles. The panellists' deliberations of the day and two workshops consequently provided stimuli for further enquiries rather than answers to the theme's central question. Peter Grabowski (University of Luton) summarizes the panellists' contributions and some of the discussions.
