Re-conceptualising rural resources as countryside capital: The case of rural tourism

Article Abstract:

A proposal is presented to raise the profile of rural tourism and the nature of its interdependence with rural resources by re-conceptualising the rural resource as a kind of 'capital asset' of the rural tourism industry. Re-conceptualising the rural resource as countryside capital provides a more holistic and integrated understanding of the rural tourism production system, which would be required if rural communities are to capture more effectively the potential benefits rural tourism has to offer them.
