Tourism and Environment (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781845648084)

The contributions contained in this volume deal with two perspectives of 'tourism and environment'; the 'role of the environment in tourism' and 'environmental tourism'. The same message would be expected in both cases. The environment comprises the set of biophysical and cultural events surrounding us and influences the activities developed depending on time and site. Among the environmental characteristics of a region, climate is usually the most relevant and conditions almost all other components. Climate defines much of the natural, as well as the urban cultural landscape and the countryside of an area. The papers included in this volume address important issues related to tourism and the environment and offer a better understanding of some of the current challenges.
