Routledge - Asia on Tour: Exploring the Rise of Asian Tourism

Most academic theories regarding tourism are based on Western travelers, but the landscape is shifting. Asia on Tour by Routledge provides a necessary reappraisal of how we analyze and understand the rapid growth of travel for leisure and recreation within Asia. This book examines the mechanics of domestic and intra-regional tourism. It explores how improved infrastructure, rising disposable incomes, and liberalized economies are changing the industry. You will learn how globalization and the lowering of both physical and political borders enable millions of Asians to travel more frequently. By using multidisciplinary theoretical perspectives, this work addresses the need for new frameworks to understand the Asian market. It is an essential resource for anyone studying the changing dynamics of global travel and the specific drivers behind the massive increase in regional mobility.
