Tourism is an astonishingly complex phenomenon that is becoming an ever-greater part of life in today’s global world. This clear and engaging text introduces students to this vast and diverse subject through the lens of geography, the only field with the breadth to consider all of the aspects, activities, and perspectives that constitute tourism.

Tourism is a pure expression of geography, and geography is the heart of tourism. This book clarifies these relationships extremely well and provides one of the most comprehensive and best-written analyses of the subject I have ever read. I applaud Professor Nelson for making such a complex relationship enjoyable to read and accessible to everyone. This gem belongs on the desk of every serious student and scholar of tourism!
