Travel and Transformation
ISBN: 9781138270176 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Travel and tourism have a long association with the notion of transformation, both in terms of self and social collectives.

Instead, much of the literature to date has focused upon describing and categorising tourism and travel experiences from a supply-side perspective, with travellers themselves defined in terms of their motivations and interests. While the tourism field can lay claim...
