Tourism and Oil - Preparing for the Challenge

This book examines oil constraints and tourism and addresses one of the key challenges for the tourism industry in the future. It provides an estimate of how much oil tourism consumes globally and summarises state-of-the-art information on oil resources, oil data and public discourse. It also explores dimensions of tourism in a post-peak oil world.
