Urban Tourism by Stephen Page
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.
