Description
“This book should be of interest to a number of markets, from: general interested informed readers, urban planners, city politicians and central government decision makers. It should also be read by tourism futurists, for in the not too distant future, some 80 per cent of the world’s population will live in cities.” (Brian Hay, Journal of Tourism Futures, Vol. 5 (3), 2019)
