Description

This book is a comprehensive effort to describe recent developments in tourism on the one hand, and academic trials, research, analyses and interpretations of contemporary events in this field on the other. It aims to cover the continuum from basic theoretical findings as those from general systems theory up to contemporary analyses of small local tourist destinations.
