Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This text presents a comprehensive introduction to tourism, leisure and recreation, and to the relationships between them. Illustrated throughout, this text includes international case studies spanning Europe, North America, Australasia and China. Each chapter highlights the methods of analysis used by geographers to analyze recreation and tourism, and highlights the similarities and differences between the way recreation and tourism are analyzed. Recent perspectives developed in human geography are introduced (such as gender studies and postmodernism) and a range of chapters examine the impact of recreation and tourism on issues including: the demand and supply of recreation and tourism; the role of public policy, planning and management; the impact of tourism and recreation on urban, rural, mountain and coastal environments, and tourism and recreation in wilderness areas and other peripheral regions.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 269-304) and index.
