Transport And Tourism (Themes in Tourism)

By Stephen J. Page

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.

Customer Reviews

Recomendo, apesar de algumas limitaçoes

Apesar do livro ser, por vezes, redundante e ser pouco abrangente em relação aos 4 modais de transporte (dá ênfase no transporte aéreo) é um dos únicos textos que analisa o transporte na perspectiva do turimo. Sendo assim, apesar destas limitações é um texto que serve de guia a todos os professores e pesquisadores lidando com o assunto.Although this book is, sometimes, redundant and not comprehensive to the 4 transportation modes (emphasis is in aerial transportation) it has an approach which is rare: transportation in the point of view of tourism. So, I recommend this book, although these limitations, because it serves as basic path to professors and researchers dealing with this important matter.
