Download or read book The Tourist Places of the World written by Philippe Violier and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-02-19 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formerly a largely Western practice, leisure travel is today the most dynamic industry in the world in terms of growth. Developments in transport and communication systems mean tourism is now an integral part of our understanding of the world, and involved in the exponential increase of links between societies and different cultures. The Tourist Places of the World has comprehensive data on the number of international visitors annually. It also includes an original map ? not dictated by country, but by major tourist areas and places. The hierarchy of destinations drawn is highlighted by the different levels of popularity and passenger flows; from the universal places where all societies meet to the still unfrequented places. Beyond the recognition of global tourism, the challenge is to understand how and why societies can achieve a better life through sustainable development, which encompasses social, economic and environmental dimensions.

Download or read book Tourism and Regional Development written by Maria Giaoutzi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourist visits used to be a less common activity in the past. However, more people than ever now make leisure trips, making this an era of mass tourism. This drastic change in spatial behaviour is not only caused by economic prosperity, but the scale of this phenomenon means that it is able to generate economic growth, making tourism a key factor in regional development policy. One of the main challenges of current regional policy is to market the attractiveness of an area, thereby increasing tourist visits and subsequent revenue. In particular, regions are attempting this through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which offer information on interesting places, and efficient methods for organizing and booking trips. This book examines the interconnections between tourism, ICT and regional development. Bringing together a range of European case studies illustrating various ICT and policy innovations, it not only critiques current activity by regions in terms of tourism development, but also considers how this sector is likely to continue to grow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "L'université d'Angers et l'université catholique de l'ouest ont pris l'initiative d'organiser en 2006, avec le concours de la Mission Val de Loire, une université d'été consacrée à la fréquentation du patrimoine. Ce thème est d'abord l'objet d'une injonction paradoxale. Alors que des pressions multiples s'exercent pour que le peuple admire les sites les plus remarquables, comme les témoignages les plus obscurs, des discours n'ont de cesse de prôner la limitation de l'accès au nom des risques encourus. Ils sont rejoints pas d'autres au nom de l'incapacité que le plus grand nombre aurait à comprendre et à profiter à bon escient de ce bienfait. Or les lieux les plus fréquentés sont les mieux conservés et les héritages sont surtout menacés par l'oubli. Certes, dans certaines situations, l'organisation des flux, souvent plus que la limitation de l'accès, y est une condition première, mais on observe que les barrières sociales sont trop facilement retenues. Par ailleurs, ce sont souvent des cas rares. Dès lors, les enjeux se situent dans la qualité de l'ouverture. D'une part, l'accessibilité et les visites peuvent être gérées de manière à prendre en compte à la fois la protection et les attentes des visiteurs. D'autre part, la connaissance du patrimoine qui constitue une des clés de l'appréciation de la visite peut être apportée par des techniques d'interprétation, sans pour autant constituer la seule modalité de l'expérience vécue"--P.
