Asia on Tour

By Tim Winter, Peggy Teo and T.C. Chang

Published by: Routledge

More about the book...

Even in a downturn, Asian tourism continues to boom. With 23 essays, this book examines the phenomenon by combining theoretical analysis with empirical research, looking at Indian tourism in Bali, Singapore's boutique hotels, film-induced tourism in Korea, and the strange case of gastronomy tourism in Hong Kong. There are also interesting chapters on how the increasing tendency of Asians to travel is changing their perceptions of their own culture and the wider region, as well as different views across generations. This story still has a long way to go but Asia on Tour is a fascinating start to the trip.
