Examining Domestic And Intra-regional Tourism, This Book Reveals How Improvements In Infrastructures, Ever Increasing Disposable Incomes, Liberalized Economies, The Inter-connectivities Of Globalization And The Lowering Of Borders, Both Physical And Political, Are Now Enabling Millions Of Asians To Travel As Tourists.
This volume investigates the rapid expansion and socio-political implications of domestic and intra-regional tourism across Asia. Edited by scholars Tim Winter, Peggy Teo, and T.C. Chang, the text synthesizes multidisciplinary research to analyze how infrastructure development, rising disposable incomes, and shifting geopolitical borders have transformed travel patterns. The contributors utilize a variety of case studies to argue that Asian tourism is a complex phenomenon shaped by both global market forces and localized cultural identities.
