Tourism Geography reveals how geographic perspectives can inform and
illuminate the study of tourism. The book explores the factors that have
encouraged the development of both domestic and international forms of
tourism, highlighting ways in which patterns of tourism have evolved and
continue to evolve. The differing economic, environmental and sociocultural
impacts that tourism may exert upon destinations are examined,
together with a consideration of ways in which planning for tourism can
assist in the regulation of development and produce sustainable forms of
tourism.
