“…Charlton and Essex, 1996); this paper complements these by considering change over time, rather than simply a`snapshot', and by looking at a non-local government agency (an urban development corporation) as well as at local authorities. The paper examines the organisation of tourism development in three very different locations in the late 1980s and early 1990s.³…”

Using a case‐study approach this article explores the impact the radical changes in British local governance over the last 15 years or so have had for tourism development at the local level. The expectation that tourism development would both be among the triggers for, and one of the beneficiaries of, changes in governance structures is shown to be misplaced. The paper concludes with a discussion, in the light of its findings, of what might be the most appropriate agencies for promoting tourism development. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Thus, in a British context, a growing number of local authorities have sought to capture the potential economic bene®ts afforded by tourism (Ball and Stobbart, 1998) not only in locations traditionally associated with the activity (such as seaside resorts) but also elsewhere (e.g. in areas of industrial decline) (Long, 1994;Charlton and Essex, 1996). In spite of the notorious dif®cul-ties associated with evaluating the impact of regeneration strategies generally (Hambleton and Thomas, 1995) and more speci®cally in the context of tourism (Law, 1992;Ryan, 1995;Williams, 1997;Agarwal, 1999), this positive disposition towards tourism development also extends to other parts of Europe (Williams and Shaw, 1998) and beyond (see e.g.…”

An increasing number of local economic development agencies in the UK are turning to tourism as a means of urban regeneration and employment creation. Although initiatives vary, there is a nationally inspired emphasis on the development of employee skills as a core element of many regeneration strategies. This paper reports the ®ndings of a qualitative study of the demand for and utilisation of skills by tourism ®rms in East London, an area that is the recipient of substantial urban aid funding, a proportion of which has an overt focus on skills enhancement designed to develop the tourism sector. It then examines the processes of skills supply within the locality. The paper concludes by identifying the key issues likely to be important if regeneration programmes are to be effective.
