The expanding role of leisure has produced a significant increase in tourist activity over the last decade. While tourism may have an immediate positive impact, the long-term effects are often viewed more negatively. This paper reviews and analyzes the evolutionary model of tourism development. We then explore the public policy and public management implications of the model. This is then applied directly to Charleston, South Carolina as a case study.
