Few would deny that tourism is one of the defining phenomena of our
age. It has a significant, and growing, impact on a wide range of
issues such as the environment, leisure, and transport, and in
fewer than three hundred years tourism has come to be a global
service industry of great economic, cultural, and political
importance.
Published to critical acclaim, "The Encyclopedia of Tourism"--now
available as a Routledge World Reference title--is the definitive
one-volume reference source to this challenging multisectoral
industry and multi-disciplinary field of study. This book comprises
over one thousand entries and has been written by an international
team of more than three hundred contributors to provide a
comprehensive guide to both the manifest and hidden dimensions of
tourism. The encyclopedia explicates and explores the wide range of
basic definitions, concepts, perspectives, and institutions
embraced by tourism, and consolidates research carried out in the
field to date. Reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of academic
exploration within tourism, the entries embrace areas of study such
as Anthropology, Economics, Education, Geography, History,
Management, Marketing, Political Science, and Psychology, among
others.
