"Divided on a regional basis, the text explores how the development of tourism destinations is related to history. It looks at the roots of tourism and how destination awareness has changed, from fourth century BC guidebooks to the wealth of information available for today's travellers. It takes the reader on a journey around the world from the forum in Rome, to Uluru in Australia, Westminster Abbey in London and the pyramids in Giza."--Jacket."@en
