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.
