Description

Tourism is an astonishingly complex phenomenon that may be becoming an ever-greater a part of life in today’s global world. This clear and engaging text introduces undergraduate students to this vast and diverse subject through the lens of geography, the only field with the breadth to imagine all the aspects, activities, and perspectives that constitute tourism. Indeed, geography and tourism have at all times been interconnected, and Velvet Nelson reinforces the relationship between them by the usage of both human and physical geography to interpret all facets of tourism—economic, social, and environmental. She shows how geography provides the tools and concepts to imagine both the positive and negative factors that have an effect on tourists and destinations in addition to the effects tourism has on both peoples and places. Her real-world case studies, based both on research and on the experiences of tourists themselves, vividly illustrate key issues. This comprehensive, thematically organized introduction will make stronger students’ understanding of geographic concepts and how they may be able to be used as a way of viewing and understanding the world.
