ABSTRACT
Worldwide Destinations: The Geography of Travel and Tourism is a unique text that explores tourism demand, supply, organisation, and resources for every country worldwide in a logically structured and accessible format.
The ninth edition is fully updated to include the following features:
- Greater exploration of current issues such as climate change, the impact of COVID-19 on destinations and subsequent recovery strategies, regenerative tourism, changes in consumer behaviour, and sustainability
- New and updated case studies throughout
- Increased emphasis on South America and a new chapter focussing on the tourism geography of Antarctica
- Enhanced online resources for lecturers and students including PPTs, web links, video links, MCQs, and discussion questions
The first part of this book comprises thematic chapters that detail the geographic knowledge and principles required to analyse the tourism appeal of destinations. The subsequent division of this book into regional chapters enables the student to carry out a systematic analysis of a particular destination by providing insights on cultural characteristics as well as information on specific places.
This volume is an invaluable resource for studying every destination in the world, explaining tourism demand, evaluating the many types of tourist attractions, and examining the trends that may shape the future geography of tourism. This thorough guide is a must-have for any student undertaking a course in travel and tourism.
