About The Book

"Worldwide Destinations Casebook" by Brian Boniface MA, now in its 2nd Edition, offers an extensive collection of 38 case studies from international tourism destinations. The updated edition includes 10 new case studies and 28 revised ones, bringing current perspectives to key global tourism destinations.

This casebook is designed as a companion to the core textbook Worldwide Destinations (5th edition), contextualizing theory with real-life examples. The updated edition covers critical topics such as climate change, eco-tourism, destination regeneration, and the social impact of tourism. Notable case studies include the regeneration of London Docklands, the tourism strategy for Morocco, the rise of outbound tourism from China, and the challenges of tourism in Antarctica.

The casebook not only provides students with practical examples but also encourages active learning by focusing on problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking. Students will gain valuable experience in recognizing that there is no single "correct" answer to complex tourism issues while judging the relevance of various evidence and techniques.

With its global scope and real-world applications, Worldwide Destinations Casebook is an essential resource for any tourism student, helping to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the field of tourism studies.
