| Abstract: | This article draws on research into 25 years of tourism planning and management in Cambridge, UK, to investigate the long-term effect that tourism strategies can have in managing the development of tourism in historic cities. It is shown that five successive Tourism Strategies from 1978 onward have had consistent aims, strongly influenced by the locality characteristics of Cambridge. The authors argue that locality factors, and the role of local regimes and policy communities are more significant than national government policy in accounting for aims and policies. It is suggested that tourism management issues are rarely finally resolved, and questions whether true tourism management is currently achievable in a historic city. |
