About The Book

The 9th Edition of Worldwide Destinations: The Geography of Travel and Tourism by Brian Boniface offers a thorough and updated examination of global tourism, including its demand, supply, organization, and resources. This edition delves into key current issues, including the impacts of climate change, COVID-19 recovery strategies, regenerative tourism, shifts in consumer behavior, and sustainability.

This new edition is enriched with updated case studies and an increased focus on South America, alongside a fresh chapter dedicated to the tourism geography of Antarctica. With the latest insights, this book remains an indispensable resource for students and professionals alike.

The book is divided into two parts: thematic chapters that explain the geographic principles necessary for analyzing the tourism appeal of destinations, followed by regional chapters that provide detailed information on the cultural characteristics and tourist attractions of specific locations.

Furthermore, enhanced online resources for both lecturers and students—such as PowerPoint presentations, web and video links, multiple-choice questions (MCQs), and discussion questions—ensure an interactive and engaging learning experience.

Worldwide Destinations continues to be the go-to reference for students in travel and tourism studies, offering a comprehensive guide to understanding the global tourism industry, the dynamics of different destinations, and the evolving trends that will shape tourism's future.
