Book description
Despite the obvious closeness of the aviation and tourism
industries, there are very few specialist texts on this subject. Most
tourism-focused books consider aviation as just one component of the tourism
industry which needs to be discussed, whereas aviation specialist texts
rarely concentrate on just leisure travel. In addition there is very
little literature that gives a detailed appreciation of the complexities and
potential conflicts associated with the development of coherent and
effective aviation and tourism policies. Therefore, it is the aim of
this book to fill this important gap which exists with a comprehensive,
in-depth study of the relationship between aviation and leisure travel.
It offers the reader an analysis of the theoretical concepts relevant to the
subject area combined with a detailed investigation of current practice
within the aviation and tourism industries. Each chapter is
illustrated with case study material that will reinforce the understanding
of the issues that are being examined.
