Description
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.
Audience
Undergraduate levels 3-4; postgraduate tourism management students; practitioners, consultants and providers (e.g. tourist groups) as a reference guide
