Recensioner i media

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!
