Abstract
Tourism planners often promise widespread community renewal as a product of tourism development, but benefits do not always occur as expected. This article analyzes undesirable "lag effects " associated with early stages of tourist destination development. Examples from two Colorado gaming towns illustrate the problems; hypotheses formalizing relationships between temporal problems and community tourism development are derived.Keywords
