Summary: Summary: "Special interest tourism is growing rapidly, due to a discerning and heterogeneous travel market and the demand for more focused activity or interest-based tourism experiences. This book approaches the topic from the perspective of both supply and demand, and has a clear, user-friendly structure. Covering the practical applications of research and the key emerging issues for royal, dark, festival, sport, gastronomic, slow and pro-poor tourism among others, it includes contributions and case studies by international academics and practitioners. Sometimes referred to as niche or contemporary tourism, this book provides a complete introduction to the study of special interest tourism for students."--Provided by publisher.
