Overview
Within the tourism field, transport research specifically related to tourism remains substantially neglected despite its dynamic role in the creation of tourist movements at different geographical scales. This volume of edited essays is a seminal study which sets out to address this neglect by examining a number of conceptual and empirical issues associated with the way multidisciplinary researchers approach the study of the transport-tourism interface. This volume has contributions from geographers, planners, social psychologists, marketers, economists and sociologists. It poses a number of key questions including: what is the scope of progress in tourism and transport research in the new millennium?; what type of research has been undertaken and has it been synthesised into a body of knowledge which researchers and practitioners can access?; have researchers adopted a common agenda to addressing conceptual issues associated with the analysis of the tourism-transport interface?; and what conceptual challenges do researchers face in the analysis of tourism and transport?
