Opis

Crossing the traditional boundaries between the research geographers and scholars of the tourism industry, this book draws on selected research from Europe, South-East Asia, the Pacific and North America. The contributors combine perspectives in human geography and tourism to present cultural landscapes of tourist destinations as socially constructed places.
