Abstract

Two tourism lifecycle models developed by Butler (1980) and Plog (1974, 2001) more than 40 years ago have dominated the conceptualisation of this topic. Everybody is or should be familiar with the broad themes discussed in each model. But, while the Plog and Butler models are well known, they are not necessarily known well, for the original sources are somewhat dated, and in the case of Butler’s work, obscure. Indeed, one wonders how many people have actually read the original source? Instead, they are so common that knowledge generally comes from secondary sources which invariably summarize the manuscripts into a few sentences or short paragraphs, and in doing so, simplify the complex and subtle issues raised about the nature of destinations and how they change over time. At worst, the works are condensed to such an extent that the only thing shown is the respective graphic and subheadings. It is for this reason that the reader is encouraged to read each paper as a supplement to this chapter.
