Book excerpt: World Geography of Travel and Tourism takes an alternative approach to current tourism geography offerings, which offer a plainly topical approach. The authors have included major themes, models and issues from a topical perspective, and positioned them in a place and regional context. In this way, this text places traditional human and physical geography at the core of our understanding of international tourism destinations and issues. * Develops a theoretical framework and regional context for the study of international tourism * Contributions from leading academics provide regional expertise * Fully supported by author-designed and maintained website
