  This edition has been updated to take account of major changes in the tourism industry since the book was first published. These include: the changing political map of the world; the greening of tourism; the growth in long-haul travel; and the increased number of tourism courses available. A new chapter has been added on the CIS and those on Eastern Europe, Africa, Latin America and the UK have all been expanded. It provides a comprehensive examination of the basic principles underlying the geography of tourist demand, supply and transportation, together with a broad survey of world tourism generating and destination regions and is suitable for students taking both degree and diploma courses in both business studies and hotels and catering. It will also be of value to students studying the geography of tourism as part of their vocational training for travel agency and tour operation.
