Abstract

In offering reflections on key themes driving and affecting Middle Eastern tourism development, this chapter takes a broader view in looking at the urban dimension surrounding efforts to promote tourism in countries across the region in general and in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states in particular. Concluding comments will reflect on one of the real cost of tourism-led development: the loss of the right to the city. This is a reference to Harvey’s (2008) exploration of the collective right to the city.
