To date, most research in the field has been based on data derived from less objective - hence methodologically problematic - sources. This book examines the various technologies available to track pedestrians and motorized vehicles as well as the moral, ethical and legal issues arising from the utilization of data thus obtained. The methodologies outlined in the book could prove revolutionary in terms of tourism research, maRoutledge advances in tourism ;19.TourismSocial aspectsTourismPsychological aspectsTravelersPsychologyTracking radarTourismSocial aspects.TourismPsychological aspects.TravelersPsychology.Tracking radar.910.72Shoval Noam1552593Isaacson Michal1552594MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777902103321Tourist mobility and advanced tracking technologies3812609UNINA
