A chapter in Regional Science Perspectives on Tourism and Hospitality, 2021, pp 1-14 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Tourism, both in terms of the individual economic activities nested within and as a sector at large, has attracted attention from within the various branches of social sciences, with each discipline approaching tourism from a different perspective and utilizing different tools for analysis. This book provides a collection of papers which combine aspects of regional science and tourism research and look at specific issues from both angles. It thus attempts to demonstrate how these two fields can be merged to gain valuable insights into local and regional economic systems which feed on tourism and the hospitality industry as important business activities but also how tourism is shaped by spatial characteristics. Its strength lies in the variety of different topics offered to readers as appetizers and motivation to engage in further explorations along these lines.
