World Regional Geography addresses the need to understand the cultural, environmental, historical and political context in which international tourism takes place. The expert author team has included major themes and issues in tourism, and positioned them in a regional context. In this way, this text takes a major step into a more analytical approach to global tourism while still providing a clear account of the geography of travel and tourism.
This innovative text:
<ul>
<li>Develops a clear analytical framework and systematic context for the study of international tourism and travel</li>
<li>Presents a global account of travel geography organized around key regions</li>
<li>Provides regional knowledge from around the world that assists the reader to understand some of the main factors that affect tourism patterns and flow</li>
<li>Is fully supported by the website: WorldGTT.com, which is both designed and maintained by the authors</li>
</ul>
World Regional Geography makes vital reading for any student seeking an introduction to tourism geography and indeed, international tourism and global geography as a whole.

Second homes - the cottage, the summer house, the bach - are an important part of the tourism and leisure lifestyles of many people in the developed world. Second homes are therefore an integral component of tourism experiences in rural and peripheral areas. Yet, despite their significance not only for tourism but also for rural communities and the rural economy, relatively little research has been undertaken on the topic until recent times. This volume represents the first major international analysis and review of second homes for over 25 years. It will provide a significant resource for those interested in changing patterns of tourism and leisure behaviour as well as the use of the countryside and peripheral areas. The book describes the economic, social and environmental impacts of second homes as well as their planning implications and places such discussions within the context of contemporary human mobility. The volume represents essential reading for those interested in rural regional development processes and the development of new rural leisure landscapes.
