Sommario/riassunto

In order to understand the modern tourist, concepts of mobility have begun to be applied to tourism studies and have questioned whether the word tourism is any longer sufficient to describe the complex



socio-political milieu of people on the move. This volume analyses tourism's wider role as an agent for the mobile population of the world.
