Tourism Geography

Tourism Geography is a subfield of Human Geography that studies how and why people travel, the destinations they choose, and the impacts of tourism on places and communities. It examines the social, economic, cultural, and environmental factors influencing travel patterns. By analyzing attractions, travel routes, and the experiences of tourists, it helps us understand how tourism shapes landscapes, economies, and local cultures, as well as the challenges that arise, such as over-tourism and environmental degradation. Ultimately, it seeks to promote sustainable tourism practices that benefit both visitors and host communities.
