Urban Tourism: The Visitor Economy And The Growth Of Large Cities

Second Edition.

A fully updated, revised and redesigned edition of this well-regarded text that was the first on the subject when it was published in 1993.

The book examines every aspect of the relationship between tourism and large cities: why tourists go there, how their visits impact upon the local inhabitants, how cities can make tourism return, what they spend their money on, and so on.

Featuring lengthy case studies of cities like Boston, London, Barcelona and Glasgow, this is a respected book that is now much bettter than it was.
