In western society it is taken for granted that tourism is a necessary element of contemporary lifestyle, but while many people recognize its importance, they are usually more concerned with its contribution to the economy than with its social, cultural, and political significance. As a social action, tourism is at least partly based on the appeal of distance in time, space, and culture, which offers people the opportunity to question conditions they take for granted, and, by distancing themselves from everyday life, to re-examine the meaning of their lives.Within a traditional...

ISBN: 9781781902127 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume examines and contrasts different perspectives on and approaches to the geography of tourism from across European regions and language traditions.

This is a tendency observed across the whole spectrum of research in human geography. In an attempt to redress this imbalance, nine internationally renowned contributors from...
