CHAPTER ABSTRACTS & KEY CONCEPTS
Chapter 2 - The birth of modern tourism
The development of the geographies of domestic tourism in Europe have been shaped the key processes that include changes in public attitudes and associated tastes that favoured the emergence of new destination areas over time. In North America, the establishment of national parks and protected nature areas. Emerging from the Romantic Movement and measured against the industrial cities of Europe and U.S., tourism and recreation have been a major part of the justification for the establishment of ecosystem-wide parks from their earliest discussions in the 19th century.

Chapter 3 - International patterns of travel and tourism
Although rooted in a history of travel that extends over several centuries, international tourism is primarily a product of post-1945 patterns of leisure, in which growth has been aided by a range of factors. These include: (i) Economic globalization and the development of a structured travel industry; (2) the impact of technological innovation in transportation and telecommunications; (iii) economic and political stability in much of the world; and (iv) the popularity, fashionability and ease of foreign travel for growing number of the world’s population. Recent developments in tourism in Asia and the Pacific show how global and regional tourism geographies are continuing to evolve.
