Author Description

"New Horizons in Tourism captures the breadth of a new wave of tourism that is becoming more popular world-wide. There is growing demand from tourists for extreme and unusual environments, and amazing and bizarre experiences, ranging from staying in a hotel made of ice to holidaying in space. This volume presents a few out-of-the-ordinary instances of peripheries overtaken by tourism and the experiences they offer, including pro-poor tourism, deep ecotourism, dark tourism, senior tourism, volunteer tourism and space tourism." "The book will be of significant interest to both students and researchers in tourism."--BOOK JACKET.
