The Tourist Places of the World
Author: Philippe Violier
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 178630435X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Formerly a largely Western practice, leisure travel is today the most dynamic industry in the world in terms of growth. Developments in transport and communication systems mean tourism is now an integral part of our understanding of the world, and involved in the exponential increase of links between societies and different cultures. The Tourist Places of the World has comprehensive data on the number of international visitors annually. It also includes an original map ? not dictated by country, but by major tourist areas and places. The hierarchy of destinations drawn is highlighted by the different levels of popularity and passenger flows; from the universal places where all societies meet to the still unfrequented places. Beyond the recognition of global tourism, the challenge is to understand how and why societies can achieve a better life through sustainable development, which encompasses social, economic and environmental dimensions.

Progress in French Tourism Geographies
Author: Mathis Stock
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030521362
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
This book provides an overview of the recent progress in Francophone tourism geography. It focuses on the theoretical advances in social and cultural geography, whereby the symbolic dimensions of tourism and the creation of tourism worlds are key. It puts forward the tourist conceived as mobile, situated, skilled, reflexive inhabitant of places, which gives all its meaning to the expression “inhabiting touristic worlds”. More specifically, this book addresses numerous rarely addressed issues such as the geo-history of tourism, the material cultures of tourists, the digitality and disconnection from digital technologies in National Parcs or the use of knowledge of tourists in metropolises. It gives insights in the specific Francophone approaches such as inhabiting, the urbanity of tourist resorts and the notion of territory in tourist studies. Finally, it provides an overview of the urban dimensions of tourism, place-making in the form of heritage, oasis tourism, sports tourism, production of space in Mexican resorts. As such, the book provides a key read for academics, students and professionals in tourism studies and tourism geography in search for alternative approaches.

The Tourist Region
Author: Jérôme Piriou
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119618207
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
In geography, a region is one of the most obscure and controversial scientific research objects. However, the tourism sector frequently uses the term, both in the communication of tourism destinations and in daily-life vocabulary, to characterize spatial practices that overtake the scale of a place. That said, a geographic concentration of place, equipment and accommodation does not equate to a tourist region. In order to define the tourist region, this book presents the common thoughts and interpretations of it, which have been advanced by geographers since the beginning of the 20th Century. The Tourist Region also examines stakeholders’ logics that are identified in the practices of a tourist destination in a regional dimension, and explores the tourist region as a territorial co-construction. Finally, this book analyzes multi-level regional networks of tourist places, built according to tourist mobilities. By presenting several measurement methods of the tourist region, this book explains the spatial practices of tourists and anticipates the actions for tourism professionals.

Rural Tourism
Author: Katherine Dashper
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443874035
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
Rural regions are experiencing fundamental challenges to their ways of life and social fabric, as traditional land-based occupations are in decline and younger and better-educated rural residents migrate to cities for greater work, social and cultural opportunities. Rural tourism offers a possible solution to the problems associated with lost economic opportunities and population decline that accompany the waning of agriculture. Many governments and regional authorities have embraced rural tourism as an opportunity to bring new money into rural regions, stimulating growth, providing employment opportunities and thus beginning to halt rural decline. However, the possibilities of rural tourism to promote rural regeneration have been criticised for being over-stated and unrealistic. Rural tourism has frequently been found to under-deliver in terms of expected economic benefits and job creation, and may sometimes exacerbate local hierarchies and inequalities. This edited collection questions the contribution tourism can and does make to rural regions. Drawing on a range of geographically diverse, research-driven case studies, the book is thematically organised to explore a variety of issues relevant to rural tourism, from the perspectives of local communities, businesses, government/policy makers and the tourists themselves.

Le tourisme dans la mondialisation
Author: Jean-Michel Hoerner
Publisher: Editions L'Harmattan
ISBN: 2296251927
Category : Travel
Languages : fr
Pages : 121
Book Description
Depuis sa naissance dans l'Europe médiévale, le capitalisme ne cesse d'accompagner le développement touristique, des touristes d'affaires à l'origine au tourisme de masse, international puis mondialisé. Par ailleurs, l'industrie touristique, qui s'inscrit dans la globalisation financière, devient l'une des activités capitalistes les plus dynamiques aujourd'hui, malgré les effets néfastes de la crise économique qui sert souvent de fil conducteur à cet ouvrage. Mais le capitalisme et la mondialisation auront-il finalement raison de nos sociétés "hyperfestives" ?

Tourist Destinations According to Stakeholder Strategies
Author: Pierre Louart
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1394306288
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Tourist destinations are subject to the strategies and interactions of the people who reside in them, with complementary and sometimes conflicting interests. To ensure that these destinations remain competitive, Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) are tasked with stimulating cooperation between all partners (independents, organizations, networks). Tourist Destinations According to Stakeholder Strategies is based on a series of case studies that are analyzed and discussed from a dual geographical and managerial perspective. This enables us to extract operational typologies and propose recommendations for actors in the tourism sector. The authors have opted for an original and innovative name for the object of study, "Localized Tourism Systems" (LTS), thus emphasizing the triple aim of territorialization, tourism activities and actors that interact together in collective projects.
