The Geography of Leisure and Tourism

The Geography of Leisure and Tourism studies how different places influence people’s travel and recreational choices. It examines how natural features, such as mountains and beaches, and human-made attractions, like cities and cultural sites, attract visitors. This field also looks at trends in travel behavior, the impact of tourism on local economies and environments, and how regions develop tourism strategies. Understanding this geography helps stakeholders, including governments and businesses, create better experiences for tourists while promoting sustainable practices to preserve the destinations for future generations.
