Tourism consumption and tourist behaviour: A British perspective

Tourism consumption and tourist behaviour are important but somewhat neglected topics in the geography of tourism. This paper provides the first review of British material on these topics and attempts to position the contributions of geographers within a wider multidisciplinary framework. It considers tourist motivation and decision-making along with the impact that tourists have on local communities.
