Routledge Tourism, Recreation and Regional Development - Routledge Analysis

This comprehensive academic volume explores the multifaceted relationship between tourism, recreation, and regional development through an interdisciplinary lens. Drawing on perspectives from planning, economics, sociology, management studies, and geography, the book addresses fundamental questions about the factors that drive tourism and recreation development, how stakeholder organisations can be optimised to enhance resources and services, and the extent to which these sectors contribute to broader regional growth. Published by Routledge as part of the New Directions in Tourism Analysis series, it examines emerging destinations, evolving stakeholder roles, and shifting policy objectives within the tourism and recreation landscape, providing scholars, practitioners, and students with evidence-based insights into contemporary tourism development strategies and their regional impacts.
