Scope:
Tourism has become one of the largest global industries in the past two decades. While it continues to grow exponentially as an industry, the research contributions to tourism are only beginning to flourish. Tourism has been regarded as a highly favorable substitute for economic development in the absence and decline of other industries. This project seeks to understand the development of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and its evolution into a premier tourism destination in the United States. Within this study, the political, economic, and environmental issues, concerning the development of the park, must be evaluated to gain a better understanding of the continued debates regarding its use for tourism development.
