In this definitive book on slow travel and tourism, Les Lumsdon and Janet Dickinson set out to define ‘slow travel’ and discuss how some underlying values are likely to pervade new forms of sustainable tourism. The authors present a series of case studies from around the world, featuring travel by train, bus, cycling and walking.
Slow Travel and Tourism will be of interest to all those interested in improving the sustainability of tourism and enhancing tourist experience. It is a very well researched book that provides detailed information on tourism, transport and mobilities.’ – Susanne Becken, Associate Professor, Faculty of Environment, Society and Design, Lincoln University, New Zealand.
