Although Explorer's Guide Vermont covers the entire Green Mountain

the state's less-traveled areas, especially the Northeast Kingdom.
You'll also find in-depth descriptions of major Vermont
destinations like Burlington, Brattleboro, Manchester, and
Woodstock. They always highlight the most interesting and rewarding
places to visit, whether on back roads or in bigger cities-artists'
studios, family farms, and historic sites among them. This guide
provides great recommendations for every activity you're looking
for-mountain and road biking; hiking and swimming; skiing,
snowshoeing, and snowboarding; horseback riding, fishing, and
paddling-and many more, both on and off the beaten track.
Devised with the aim of linking the two great seas that cradle
Andalucia, the Andalucian Coast to Coast Walk crosses the heart of
southern Spain, from the small Mediterranean village of Maro to
Bolonia beach on the Atlantic seaboard, a day's walk from the
bustling port of Tarifa. A village-to-village walk, the 416km trail
follows the Penibetic mountain range across the provinces of
Malaga, Granada and Cadiz, passing through six beautiful Natural
Parks and visiting some of the region's most picturesque and
characterful towns and villages, including Ronda. This guide
presents the waymarked route in 21 day stages, each with clear
route description and mapping and notes on the villages and other
local points of interest. You'll find all the practical information
needed to plan and execute a successful trip, with advice on when
to go, transport, accommodation and food. Useful contacts and a
Spanish-English glossary can be found in the appendices. Boasting
magnificent mountain scenery, charming villages and a rich and
fascinating history, it is little surprise that Andalucia has long
been popular with visitors. The Andalucian Coast to Coast Walk
showcases the vibrant culture and enchanting landscapes for which
the region is famed: it takes in mountain views and dramatic
gorges, flower-strewn valleys and cultivated fruit groves, with
highlights including Moorish Ronda, Roman ruins at Bolonia and the
traditional 'pueblos blancos' (white villages).

Tourism, one of the world's leading industries, has propelled
countries into recovery from economic recession. As a
multi-disciplinary, multi-sectoral, holistic, and systemic
industry, tourism also uniquely placed to address the concerns of
the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While the
relationships between tourism, sustainability, and sustainable
development are the subjects of deep study, the direct positive
effects of tourism on SDGs remain underdiscussed. The Handbook of
Research on the Role of Tourism in Achieving Sustainable
Development Goals is a collection of innovative research that
explores sustainable practices within the tourism industry. While
highlighting a broad range of topics including economic growth,
education, and production patterns, this book is ideally designed
for engineers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, executives, advocates,
researchers, academicians, and students.
