Bibliography. Index. Travel is the transport of people on a trip or journey. It has always been one of the fundamental component of human society. Contemporary economic processes have been accompanied by a significant increase in mobility and higher levels of accessibility. Societies have become increasingly dependent on their transport systems to support a wide variety of activities ranging among others from commuting supplying energy needs to distributing parts between factories. The travel and tourism industry earns more foreign exchange than any other single sector. The impact of tourism on local facilities such as transport shops and places to eat can cause friction and resentment between people making money from tourists and those who feel their quality of life is compromised. Volumes of people passing through a region cause wear and tear on infrastructure that is often repaired or replaced at the expense of the community as a whole. Reflecting the current state of travel geography this book provides a comprehensive examination of the modern trends of human travel. The completeness and relevance of this book will make it an important reference tool for anyone interested in travel and tourism. 235 pp.…
