Armchair tourism

Chapter 18.0 in The Long Tail of Tourism, 2011, pp 171-183 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Imagine the possibility of visiting any place in the world you want, maybe France, the Caribbean or even Alaska within one hour and without ever having to leave your living room. This form of niche tourism is referred to as Armchair Tourism, a fairly new way of exploring the earth without having to physically travel. This can be made possible through the Internet, travel literature or television (NationMaster, 2005).
