The Routledge Handbook of Tourism Geographies

“Twelve years after the first Handbook, leading researchers from around the world have compiled an impressive update on research trends in tourism geographies. Key geographical concepts such as space, place, environment, sustainability and mobility provide a powerful framework for examining a wide range of issues related to tourism. The innovative and comprehensive approach will help us to imagine a more diverse, socially and environmentally just world of tourism.” -Professor Carolin Funck, Hiroshima University, Japan. “Global travel is radically affecting places, people and ecosystems. The new Handbook is not just an update of the original text from 2012, but a comprehensive and much-needed sequel which provides critically evocative perspectives on tourism-related transformations in the Anthropocene. The Editors have curated a compelling collection of original and theoretically novel contributions to uncover the contemporary geographies of tourism and mobilities. This is a much welcome volume pushing the boundaries of tourism social science.” -Dr. Szilvia Gyimóthy, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark. “This new Handbook of Tourism Geographies delivers a rich, authoritative collection of cutting-edge chapters by leading authors in the field. It provides a contemporary perspective on the development and future of the field and is a must have reference book for researchers, teachers and students of tourism geographies. It will become a classic in its field.” -Professor Chris Cooper, School of Events, Tourism and Hospitality Management, Leeds Beckett University, UK.
