"Newfoundland will be one of the great summer playgounds of America...,"
Joseph R. Smallwood The New Newfoundland
Tourism is a major cultural and economic force in the world. Yet it is still a poorly understood phenomenon. In MAKING A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE James Overtone examines specific tourism related initiatives - parks and planning, games laws, clean-up campaigns, and advertising - as starting point foa broad discussion of culture and development, and the role of politics. Throughout Newfoundland and Labrador tourism is increasingly seen as a possible way out of the province's difficulties. How is the "world of difference," as Newfoundland is describe in a far-reaching promotional campaign, affected by the policies and programmes designed to exploit tourism?
