As the world's largest industry tourism both contributes to and will be dramatically affected by climate change. This is the first comprehensive book-level examination of the relationship between tourism and climate change, of interest not only to students of tourism but to policy makers and the industry who will have to respond to the challenges posed.

World Geography of Travel and Tourism takes an alternative approach to current tourism geography offerings, which offer a plainly topical approach. The authors have included major themes, models and issues from a topical perspective, and positioned them in a place and regional context. In this way, this text places traditional human and physical geography at the core of our understanding of international tourism destinations and issues. * Develops a theoretical framework and regional context for the study of international tourism * Contributions from leading academics provide regional expertise * Fully supported by author-designed and maintained website
