It may not be immediately obvious why three academics from different parts of the world (namely United Kingdom, Greece and Australia) would want to join forces in editing this book. The answer is very simple. We have all specialised in tourism and aviation teaching and training, research and consulting for many years and remain fascinated by developments in these dynamic industries. Nonetheless, we continue to be surprised at the failure of academia, governments, industry and other stakeholders to fully recognise and appreciate the close and complex relationships which exist between aviation and tourism, particularly when leisure travel is concerned. It is this common view that has united and motivated us to invite 26 distinguished experts in different specialist areas to contribute to this book. Hopefully, this publication will help in some way to expand and develop the knowledge and understanding of the important links between these two industries.
