Recreational Geography

Recreational Geography studies how people use and enjoy different natural and built environments for leisure activities. It explores how parks, beaches, mountains, cities, and other places are visited and experienced for relaxation, sports, tourism, and entertainment. This field helps us understand patterns of travel, the importance of accessible outdoor spaces, and the impact of recreational activities on communities and the environment. Essentially, it combines geography with leisure studies to improve how societies plan and manage spaces that enhance well-being and promote sustainable tourism.
