World Tourism Cities

'This is a timely book set to become a seminal contribution to urban tourism. The authors, who are prolific researchers and consultants in this field, build on scholarly work published in the International Journal of Tourism Cities over the last six years, whilst adding to the latest research on urban tourism and tourism cities with valuable insights from practice around the world. World Tourism Cities will be of interest not only to students and academics alike, but also to practitioners and policy makers eager to capitalise on the latest knowledge related to the management of urban tourism destinations in all their different dimensions – from capacity management and innovative destination marketing practices to smart tourism.'

The book is written in an accessible way with plenty of real-life examples that help clarify the comprehensive insights and ideas put forward in the book. As such, the book acts as an important source of reference for researchers, students as well as engaged practitioners.'
