| dc.description.abstract | 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. | en_US |
