(Travel and Tourism Geography by Diana Ermilova)
Abstract:
This, Concise Travel and Tourism Geography is meant to be a sort of reference
for use in the home, office, higher institution or school by students specializing in
tourism, travel consultants and travel agents, teachers and professors teaching
this fascinating subject, for those who travel the world and for those who, like
Francis Bacon, journey only «in map and chart».
The list of states, territories or tourist destinations is arranged according to
three areas of IATA tourist destination distribution. Though not intended to be
comprehensive this Geography will aid to some extend those who, whilst familiar
with the name of the place, are uncertain of just where it lies on a map of global
tourism and travel business.
This book is a general introduction to the Geography of Travel and
Tourism. One point must be emphasized here. The geographic education of
travel and tourism professionals lies at the interaction of tourism studies and
the discipline of geography. In terms of education, especially textbooks,
this is a relatively new field globally. Certainly it’s an evolving field, taking
shape and direction largely through the efforts of some enthusiasts. They
are still pioneers and there are a lot of shortcomings, but their work should
be appreciated and complimented.
In Russian this branch of education is just beginning to be paid attention
to and has only recently begun to be developed. The book incorporates the
collection of lectures for the undergraduates, exclusively developed and
read for the period of four years. The present course of lectures is meant at
least to some extend to fill a gap in tourism studies for the would-be travel
experts – tourism students. This course can be regarded as an attempt to
acquaint students with the feel and flavor of some tourist destinations globally.
Of course, being still developed, this course can hardly be regarded
as comprehensive. But it is intended to be emotional, entertaining, informal
and resourceful.
The emphasis is on practical «nuts» and «bolts» information, with lists
of leisure activities, specific tourist objectives, ratings of hotels, and recommendations
of tours and sightseeing as well as general advice and commentary
on the local scene of what to expect and what to do.
This book serves several purposes. The first is to introduce students of
English as a foreign language to Travel-Tourism Geography language in
particular and to the language of different vocational fields within the tourist
industry in general.

The second is to give the student an introduction to the particular tourist
destination area. Specific tourist destinations and their peculiarities are
discussed in great detail in this book. Different kinds of tourist destinations
globally are discussed, as well as their distinctive features, major characteristics
and problems that accrue to the areas of hospitality. The national
flavor of the process of attracting, receiving and welcoming visitors is emphasized
without losing sight of the negative results, be they direct or indirect,
that may occur in the environment of the destination area.
