An introductory level text looking at the nature of urban tourism. A study of the issues and problems involved with urban tourism reveals the multi-functional nature of cities as tourist destinations. All the main aspects of urban tourism are examined - the range of visitors and motives for visiting locations; types of facilities; the impact of tourism on urban environments; managerial and planning techniques; and the planning, marketing and management of cities as tourism destinations. Recent innovations in the management of urban tourism are hightlighted. A range of international case studies providing practical examples of the issues raised is included. This integrated, holistic view of urban tourism encompasses the needs of practitioners, and should be useful for students of tourism, leisure and planning at diploma and undergraduate level.
"Transport for Tourism" assesses the effects of tourist travel and the challenges it poses for transport planners, providers and policy-makers in the 1990s. This book concerns the relationship between transport and tourism at an introductory level: the role of government policy; demand and supply relationships; quality control systems; health and sustainable transport systems; and environmental impact. These issues are illustrated through case studies on: transport in Bermuda; Singapore Airways; British Airways; the Channel Tunnel; and transport systems in Japan. The interdisciplinary approach draws on economics, geography and marketing to provide a comprehensive picture of a complex topic. "Transport for Tourism" should be a vital learning tool for students of tourism and transport options, both at undergraduate and diploma level.
