      abstract = {Most studies of the regional impact of tourism take both  the ―product‖ and the ―re-gion‖ as predefined, thereby  omitting or downplaying key attributes of the tourism  enter-prise from analysis. This paper provides a context  for tourism impact studies by explaining through theory and  example how both region and products might be delineated,  thus pro-viding a more credible basis for analysis of  tourism policy, especially that designed to pro-mote  aspects of authenticity and heritage. Discussion begins by  reviewing the social science concepts of culture  area/region, kulturkreise (culture circles), cultural  landscapes, ethnos-capes and other spatial configurations,  and considers how these can provide useful tools for  tourism planning. Then using a case study from the  Caribbean, it shows how these concepts were adapted to  develop new regions for the diversification and expansion  of tourism based on culture history, traditions, and way of  life.},
