Focusing on a topic that is rarely considered in depth, this is a well-researched book that brings clarity of understanding to a topic that everyone presumes to understand but in reality knows little about. While much work on transport is regional in outlook, this volume is packed with examples from diverse tourism contexts around the globe.

At last, a timely and granular interrogation of policy frameworks and actors working at the intersection of tourism, mobility, public transport, governance and the built environment. Definitive and thorough, it is an outstanding contribution.
