Niche Tourism by Marina Novelli

Niche Tourism by Marina Novelli

Niche Tourism examines one of the fastest growing areas within the tourism sector. This book provides an integrated picture of speciality/niche tourism as a whole looking at both the 'macro' and 'micro' niche area. It has a comprehensive theoretical framework, and discusses initiatives, policies and strategies adopted internationally. With an emphasis on linking theory to practice, it is underpinned by up-to-date international case studies from around the world. Divided into 3 parts, it covers a variety of aspects under the headings of special interest tourism, tradition and culture base tourism and activity-based tourism.

"Because of the recent employment of niche tourism as a concept, it is particularly timely that Novelli's collection has been published, giving the reader a strong direction, excellent examples and powerful definitional material with which to grapple"
